An ESD protection device comprises a P-type substrate, a first substrate-triggered silicon controlled rectifiers (STSCR) disposed in the P-type substrate and a second STSCR disposed in the P-type substrate. The first STSCR comprises a first N-well, a first P-well, a first N+ diffusion region, a first P+ diffusion region, and a first trigger node. The second STSCR comprises a second N-well electrically connected to the first N-well, a second P-well electrically connected to the first P-well, a second N+ diffusion region electrically connected to the first P+ diffusion region, a second P+ diffusion region electrically connected to the first N+ diffusion region, and a second trigger node. A layout area of an integrated circuit and a pin-to-pin ESD current path can be reduced.

A silicon controlled rectifier structure of polygonal layouts is provided. The polygonal first conductive type doped region is located in the middle of the polygonal second conductive type well. The first conductive type well shaped as a polygonal ring surrounds the second conductive type well and the second conductive type doped region is located within the first conductive type well and shaped as a polygonal ring concentric to the first conductive type well.
