ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,389,689, issued on Aug. 12.
"Bidirectional electrostatic discharge protection device" was invented by Jong Min Kim (Seoul, South Korea).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed are bidirectional ESD protection devices capable of solving a breakdown voltage mismatch (BV mismatch) phenomenon while securing operation stability by providing a high breakdown voltage. The bidirectional ESD protection device includes an isolation region between an anode region and a cathode region, and the anode region and the cathode region may face each other with the isolation region in between. Accordingly, the bidirectional ESD protection device realizes hi...
