초록
Provided is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit using a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), which is applied to a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC). A semiconductor substrate has a triple well structure such that a bias is applied to a p-well corresponding to a substrate of a ggNMOS device. Thus, a trigger voltage of the SCR is reduced. In addition, two discharge paths are formed using two SCRs including PNP and NPN bipolar transistors. As a result, the ESD protection circuit can have greater discharge capacity.
