Compound semiconductor ESD protection devices
The present invention relates to compound semiconductor ESD protection devices of three types. The device comprises a multi-gate enhancement mode PET (E-PET). For the type I compound semiconductor ESD protection device, the source electrode is connected to the plural gate electrodes through at least one first resistor, and the drain electrode is connected to the plural gate electrodes through at least one second resistor. For the type II compound semiconductor ESD protection device, at least one of the plural gate electrodes are connected to at least one of the inter-gate regions between two adjacent gate electrodes through at least one fourth resistor. For the type compound semiconductor ESD protection device, the plural gate electrodes are connected to the source or drain electrodes through at least one seventh resistor. Any two gate electrodes in the three types of compound semiconductor ESD protection devices can be connected by a resistor.
