A fin field effect transistor (FinFET) ESD device is disclosed. The device may include: a substrate; a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) over the substrate, the SCR including: a p-well region over the substrate; an n-well region laterally abutting the p-well region over the substrate; a first P+ doped region over the p-well region; a first N+ doped region over the p-well region; and a second N+ doped region over the p-well region; and a Schottky diode electrically coupled to the n-well region, wherein the Schottky diode spans the n-well region and the p-well region, and wherein the Schottky diode controls electrostatic discharge (ESD) between the second N+ doped region and the n-well region.
