Dual-Direction Nanocrossbar Array ESD Protection Structures

This letter reports a new nanocrossbar array ESD protection design. The unique nanocrossbar array structures ensure uniform ESD discharging and achieve fast ESD response speed and >; 8A ESD protection capability in prototypes. The nanoswitching ESD protection effect eliminates large leakage current inherent to traditional p-n-junction-type ESD protection devices.
