Problems solved by technology

In this case, different types of transistors are implemented in the IC, thus complicating the manufacturing process and increasing the cost
[0004] In addition, since electrostatic current caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) in semiconductor ICs tends to concentrate at the weakest part of the transistor, melting may occur at the junction, contact portion, or gate oxide, resulting in failure
As a result, long-term reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the thin gate oxide used for dielectric gate oxide transistors

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0005909 filed on Jan. 18, 2012, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] The present disclosure relates to an electrostatic discharge protection circuit for preventing internal elements from being damaged due to generation of static electricity. [0003] To implement digital interfaces operating at high speeds, medium gate oxide transistors (medium gate oxide transistors) that operate at voltages lower than the high supply voltage supplied to integrated circuits (ICs) can be used, while thick gate oxide transistors are also used to The interface is provided in the IC with said supply voltage. In this case, different types of transistors are implemented in the IC, thus complicating the manufacturing process and increasing the manufacturing cost. [0004] In addition, since electrostatic current caused by electrostatic discharge (E...
