Problems solved by technology

However, the maintenance voltage Vhold of this LDMOS SCR structure is greatly lower than the Vhold voltage value of ordinary LDMOS, which is far lower than the power supply voltage of the high-voltage power tube, which may easily cause a latch-up (latch_up) when the device is working normally, so that the device does not Controlled by the pre-driver, it may even lead to device damage

Abstract

The invention discloses an LDMOS SCR for protection against integrated circuit chip ESD protection and belongs to the technical field of electrons. According to the LDMOS SCR for the protection against the integrated circuit chip ESD, a low-voltage MOS is integrated on the basis of a traditional structure of the LDMOS SCR for the protection against the integrated circuit chip ESD and the low-voltage MOS is used for limiting a hole current injected from the positive electrode of the nested SCR, so that value of the holding voltage Vhold is improved and latch-up immune ability of the LDMOS SCR in high-voltage application is improved. In addition, compared with an ordinary LDMOS, the LDMOS SCR for the protection against the integrated circuit chip ESD is stronger in ability of the protection against the ESD due to the integrated SCR. Besides, the LDMOS SCR for the protection against the integrated circuit chip ESD and the Bipolar CMOS DMOS technology are compatible.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electronic technology, and relates to the design technology of an electrostatic discharge (ESD for short) protection circuit of a semiconductor integrated circuit chip, especially an embedded SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier, silicon controlled rectifier) ​​for ESD protection. SCR for short) LDMOS structure. Background technique [0002] In the field of intelligent power integrated circuits, LDMOS (Lateral Double-diffused MOS transistor) power transistors are widely used in output driver stages. figure 1 It is a traditional LDMOS structure diagram. Although the device size of LDMOS is large, it is easily damaged by ESD. This is due to the uneven turn-on of the parasitic BJT of the multi-finger structure of the LDMOS power transistor and the current collector effect, which makes its ESD performance not high, so it is necessary to add an additional ESD protection circuit. [0003] Such as figure 2 As shown, in ...
