Title
Implementation of diode and bipolar triggered SCRs for CDM robust ESD protection in 90 nm CMOS ASICs
Abstract
We report the characterization of diode and bipolar triggered SCRs with VFTLP measurements and product ESD testing. A dual base Darlington bipolar triggered SCR (DbtSCR) in a triple well structure is demonstrated to provide 4kV HBM, 300V MM, and 1000V CDM protection for 90nm ASIC I/Os. A very fast turn-on time of 460ps was measured for the DbtSCR, compared to 8ns for a diode triggered SCR.
