Abstract

Silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) are increasingly used in the industry for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection applications because of their high current handling capability and low parasitic capacitance. In particular, these devices continue gaining importance for constructing ESD protection solutions for modern high-frequency integrated circuits such as those fabricated in a SiGe BiCMOS process
