Robust and Latch-Up-Immune LVTSCR Device with an Embedded PMOSFET for ESD Protection in a 28-nm CMOS Process

Abstract Low-voltage-triggered silicon-controlled rectifier (LVTSCR) is expected to provide an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for a low-voltage integrated circuit. However, it is normally vulnerable to the latch-up effect due to its extremely low holding voltage. In this paper, a novel LVT...
