Abstract
An ESD protection apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate, a first well, a second well, a first doping region, a second doping region, a third doping region, a fourth doping region and at least one junction formed by different conductivities. The first well and the second well respectively having a first conductivity and a second conductivity are disposed in the semiconductor substrate. The first doping region having the first conductivity is disposed in the first well. The second doping region having the second conductivity is disposed in the first well. The third doping region and the fourth doping region respectively having the first conductivity and the second conductivity are disposed in the second well. The at least one junction is formed by the first doping region and the second doping region, or formed by the third doping region and the fourth doping region.
