Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a P-type semiconductor substrate, a first N-well, a second N-well, and a P-well adjoining the first and second N-wells, a first doped region having a first conductivity type within the first N-well, a second doped region having a second conductivity type bridging the first N-well and the P-well, a third N+ doped region bridging the second N-well and the P-well, a fourth P+ doped region within the second N-well and spaced apart from the third N+ doped region, and a gate structure formed on the surface of the P-well and between the second doped region and the third N+ doped region. The gate structure, the second doped region, and the third N+ doped region form an NMOS structure. The semiconductor device is a low voltage triggered SCR having a relatively small silicon area and high holding voltage.
