It consists of a bidirectional silicon-controlled rectifier and diode strings. Such a structure can offer an effective ESD protection solution for low-voltage integrated circuits due to its small design window, small footprint, and high ESD robustness. © 2012 IEEE.Bidirectional; diode string; electrostatic discharge (ESD); silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR)Bidirectional Diode-Triggered Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers for Low-Voltage ESD Protectionjournal article10.1109/led.2012.22103842-s2.0-84866910365
