III-nitride based ESD protection device

III-nitride based ESD protection device

An ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection device includes a first III-nitride p-i-n diode and a second III-nitride p-i-n diode connected to the first III-nitride p-i-n diode in an antiparallel arrangement configured to provide voltage clamping at 5V or less under forward bias of either the first o...

Zusammenfassung:An ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection device includes a first III-nitride p-i-n diode and a second III-nitride p-i-n diode connected to the first III-nitride p-i-n diode in an antiparallel arrangement configured to provide voltage clamping at 5V or less under forward bias of either the first or second III-nitride p-i-n diode for transient current in both forward and reverse directions. A corresponding method of manufacturing the ESD protection device is also provided.
