Problems solved by technology

Since the production and assembly of printed circuit boards will come into contact with the hands of operators and other printed circuit boards, or related assembly machinery, testing equipment, etc., electrostatic discharge is prone to occur, which will damage the printed circuit board. integrated circuit
[0004] Since the pads on the printed circuit board and the integrated circuit are connected by metal wires (gold wires, aluminum wires or metal wires of mixed materials), when electrostatic discharge occurs, the most common phenomenon is static current. Conducted to the inside of the integrated circuit through the pads or pins on the printed circuit board, and then cause damage to the integrated circuit
Although there is usually an electrostatic discharge protection design inside the integrated circuit, there is no relevant electrostatic discharge protection structure design between the pad on the printed circuit board and the integrated circuit to reduce the possible damage caused by electrostatic discharge to the integrated circuit. damage to

[0031] figure 1 It is a structure diagram of electrostatic discharge protection according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein the integrated circuit (hereinafter referred to as the chip) 101 is arranged in the ring inner region 115 of the ground ring 110, the ground ring 110 surrounds the periphery of the chip 101, and the outer edge of the ground ring 110 has a plurality of sawtooth structures 120-129, each of which The structures 120-129 respectively have a sharp end (such as 121a), and the sharp ends of each of the sawtooth structures 120-129 are respectively adjacent to the corresponding pads 130-139, such as figure 1 shown.

[0032] Taking the sawtooth structure 121 as an example, it is located on the outer edge of the ground ring 110 , and its sharp end 121 a is adjacent to the corresponding pad 131 . There is a gap between the sharp end 121a of the sawtooth structure 121 and the soldering pad 131 (that is, the sharp end 121a is not in contact with the s...

[0038] In another embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned grounding rings 110 and 210 can also be directly set as a grounding area, and the entire surface of the area is covered with copper instead of a hollow ring structure. Please refer to image 3 , image 3 It is a structure diagram of the electrostatic discharge protection according to the second embodiment of the present invention. in image 3 and figure 1 The main difference lies in the grounding area 115 and the grounding ring 110, image 3 The grounding area 115 in is an area covered with copper (not hollow) on the entire surface, and the integrated circuit 101 is directly arranged on the grounding area 115, and figure 1 The ground ring 110 is a ring structure.

[0039] Due to the packaging requirements of some integrated circuits 101, in order to reduce costs, the bare die will be directly packaged on the printed circuit board, and metal wires (aluminum wires, gold wires or metal wires of mixed ...

[0043] The above-mentioned first and second embodiments mainly focus on the structure of the grounding area and the grounding ring. In another embodiment of the present invention, a corresponding design can also be made on the structure of the pad to increase its electrostatic discharge protection capability. . In this embodiment, one end of the welding pad can also be designed to be sharp, and the sharp end of the welding pad is adjacent to the sharp end of the sawtooth structure. Since the adjacent ends of the welding pad and the sawtooth structure are both sharp ends, using the principle of tip discharge, electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur at the adjacent sharp ends, thereby improving the protection effect of electrostatic discharge. Next, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a partial structural diagram of the electrostatic discharge protection structure according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 include Figure 4 The part...

Abstract

The invention discloses a static discharge protective structure. The static discharge protective structure comprises an earthed ring and a plurality of welding pads, wherein the earthed ring is provided with an intra-ring region for an integrated circuit; the welding pads are arranged at the periphery of the earthed ring; the earthed ring has a plurality of sawtooth structures; and each sawtooth structure is provided with a sharp tip which is adjacent to a corresponding welding pad. In the static discharge protective structure, by utilizing a principle of tip discharge, electric charge of the welding pads is guided to discharge to the earthed ring so as to change a path of static current and avoid causing damage to the inside of a chip by the static discharge.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrostatic protection structure, and in particular to an electrostatic protection structure used on a printed circuit board (PCB for short). Background technique [0002] Regardless of whether an integrated circuit (IC or chip for short) is in the manufacturing process or after the chip is completed, electrostatic discharge (ESD) events are often the main cause of damage to the integrated circuit. Especially during the assembly process of the printed circuit board, the contact between the human body or the machine and the printed circuit board may cause an electrostatic discharge event, and further cause damage to the chips or components on the printed circuit board. Therefore, integrated circuits generally require an electrostatic protection function to prevent external static currents from damaging the integrated circuits. [0003] Printed circuit board (PCB) is mainly used to integrate electronic components, c...
