摘要
This paper reports a tunable low triggering voltage, dual-directional SCR ESD protection structure in CMOS for RF ICs. A new embedded gate-coupling technique is used to reduce and adjust its triggering voltage. Experiment shows a low discharging resistance of similar to 0.26 Omega, low leakage current of similar to 0.19nA, low parasitic capacitance of similar to 150fF and ultra fast response time of similar to 100pS. This structure achieves ESD protection of >9.20kV HBM and >500V CDM for a 90 mu m device. A high ESD protection to Si ratio of ESDV similar to 8.17V/mu m(2) is obtained for RF IC applications.
