ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE PROTECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240105711 titled 'ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE PROTECTION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electro-static discharge protection device with trigger diodes connected to each other.
- The device includes a substrate with first and second wells of different conductive types.
- Eight diffusion regions are formed on the wells, with some connected to a first electrode and others to a second electrode.
- The contact between a diffusion region in the first well and an n well forms a trigger diode, as does the junction between a diffusion region in the second well and a p well.
- The trigger diodes are electrically connected to each other.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in electronic devices to protect against electro-static discharge events.
Problems Solved
The device helps prevent damage to electronic components from electro-static discharge.
Benefits
- Improved protection against electro-static discharge events - Enhanced reliability of electronic devices
Potential Commercial Applications
"Electro-Static Discharge Protection Device for Electronic Devices"

Original Abstract Submitted
an electro-static discharge protection device includes a substrate that includes a first well that has a first conductive type and a second well that has a second conductive type, and first to eighth diffusion regions formed on the first well and the second well. at least a portion of the diffusion regions formed in the first well are connected to a first electrode, and at least a portion of diffusion regions formed in a second well are connected to a second electrode. the contact between one of diffusion regions formed in the first well and an n well forms a trigger diode. a junction between one of diffusion regions formed in a second well and a p well forms a trigger diode. the trigger diodes are electrically connected to each other.
