Abstract:
The present disclosure describes exemplary configurations and arrangements for various intelligent diodes. The intelligent diodes of the present disclosure can be implemented as part of electrostatic discharge protection circuitry to protect other electronic circuitry from the flow of electricity caused by electrostatic discharge events. The electrostatic discharge protection circuitry dissipates one or more unwanted transient signals which result from the electrostatic discharge event. In some situations, some carrier electrons and or carrier holes can flow from intelligent diodes of the present disclosure into a semiconductor substrate. The exemplary configurations and arrangements described herein include various regions designed collect these carrier electrons and/or carrier holes to reduce the likelihood these carrier electrons and/or carrier holes cause latch-up of the other electronic circuitry.

Claim (Index 13):
The diode of  claim 7 , wherein the diode is situated within or onto a semiconductor substrate, and\n wherein the first plurality of diode linger regions is configured to collect carrier electrons or carrier holes flowing through the semiconductor substrate in response to the second plurality of diode finger regions dissipating a transient signal generated in response to an electrostatic discharge event, and wherein the second plurality of diode, finger regions is configured to collect carrier electrons or carrier holes flowing through the semiconductor substrate in response to the first plurality of diode finger regions dissipating the transient signal.
