Abstract:
1. A silicon-controlled-rectifier (SCR) disposed on a substrate, comprising: a longitudinal silicon fin extending between a single anode and a single cathode and including a junction region there between; one or more first transverse fins that traverse the longitudinal fin at one or more respective tapping points positioned between the anode and the junction region; and one or more second transverse fins that traverse the longitudinal fin at one or more respective tapping points positioned between the junction region and the cathode; wherein at least one of the one or more first transverse fins and at least one of the one or more second transverse fins are spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal fin between the single anode and the single cathode and traverse the longitudinal fin by crossing the longitudinal fin and residing on both sides thereof.
