    摘要: A method of triggering avalanche breakdown in a semiconductor device includes providing an electrical coupling and an optical coupling between an auxiliary semiconductor device configured to emit radiation and the semiconductor device including a pn junction between a first layer of a first conductivity type buried below a surface of a semiconductor body and a doped semiconductor region of a second conductivity type disposed between the surface and the first layer. The electrical and optical coupling includes triggering emission of radiation by the auxiliary semiconductor device and triggering avalanche breakdown in the semiconductor device by absorption of the radiation in the semiconductor device.

    摘要: A two-stage protection device for an electronic component protects against transient disturbances. The electronic component may be a semiconductor component, and may include one or multiple transistors and/or an integrated circuit. The protection device is connected to at least a first contact and a second contact of the electronic component, and is disposed essentially in parallel to the component that is to be protected, between the first contact and the second contact. The protection device includes a first stage with at least one diode and a second stage separated from the first stage by a resistor. The second stage includes at least one diode arrangement having two back-to-back disposed diodes which are disposed cathode-to-cathode.

    摘要: An integrated circuit having an ESD protection structure is described. One embodiment includes a circuit section interconnected with a first terminal and with a second terminal and being operable at voltage differences between the first terminal and second terminal of greater than +10 V and less than −10 V. The integrated circuit additionally includes an ESD protection structure operable to protect the circuit section against electrostatic discharge between the first terminal and the second terminal. The ESD protection structure is operable with voltage differences between the first and second terminals of greater than +10 V and less than −10 V without triggering. The ESD protection structure is electrically and optically coupled to a photon source such that photons emitted by the photon source upon ESD pulse loading are absorbable in the ESD protection structure and an avalanche breakdown is initiatable by electron-hole pairs generated by the absorbed photons.
