  • Abstract
    A new on-chip ESD protection circuit with complementary SCR structures is proposed. This circuit can provide ESD protection above ±6500 V and ±400 V in human-body-mode and machine-mode ESD stresses, respectively, with the total layout area of 108 μm×242 μm including the latchup guard-ring of 10-μm width and a 90 μm×90 μm metal pad for wire bonding
