Abstract:

A lateral semiconductor controlled rectifier (SCR) includes a pwell and an nwell A plurality of p+ contact regions connect to the pwell and are spaced apart from one another by a dielectric material along a width of the pwell. There are a plurality of n+ contact regions connect to the nwell and are spaced apart from one another by dielectric material along a width of the nwell.
