Claim:
1. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) device for an integrated circuit comprising: a substrate having a longitudinally extending fin dispose thereon; a first n-type FinFET (NFET) disposed within the fin, the NFET including an n-type source, an n-type drain and a p-well disposed within the substrate under the source and drain; and a p-type FinFET (PFET) disposed within the fin, the PFET including a p-type source/drain region and an n-well disposed within the substrate under the source/drain region, the n-well and p-well located proximate enough to each other to form an np junction therebetween; wherein the p-type source/drain region of the PFET and the n-type drain of the NFET are electrically connected to a common input node.
