Abstract
An electrostatic discharge protection element is provided, which leads out the electrostatic discharge current between an internal circuit and an input/output terminal in the event of electrostatic discharge. The electrostatic discharge protection element includes an I/O pad, conductor, and a gap structure. The I/O pad is connected between the I/O terminal and the internal circuit, and the conductor is connected to a ground terminal. The gap structure is disposed between the I/O pad and the conductor, which is configured to establish a path from the I/O pad to the conductor connected to the ground terminal for conducting the electrostatic discharge current.
