Title: Innovations of Chen-Shang Lai
Introduction
Chen-Shang Lai is a notable inventor based in Taichung, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of electronics, particularly in the development of silicon controlled rectifiers. With a total of 4 patents to his name, Lai's work has had a considerable impact on high voltage applications.
Latest Patents
One of Lai's latest patents is a silicon controlled rectifier structure with a guard ring controlled circuit. This invention provides a PMSCR (bridging modified lateral modified silicon controlled rectifier having first conductivity type) with a guard ring controlled circuit. The invention utilizes a controlled circuit, such as a switch, to manage the functionality of the guard ring of the PMSCR. In normal operation, the switch is of low impedance, allowing the guard ring to short to the anode and collect electrons, thereby enhancing power-zapping immunity. During an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event, the switch becomes high impedance, rendering the guard ring non-functional. This design enhances both ESD performance and power-zapping immunity in high voltage pad applications.
