Abstract

See full text

In a dual direction ESD protection circuit formed from multiple base-emitter fingers that include a SiGe base region, and a common sub-collector region, the I-V characteristics are adjusted by including P+ regions to define SCR structures that are operable to sink positive and negative ESD pulses, and adjusting the layout and distances between regions and the number of regions.
