Problems solved by technology

Since the parasitic SCR works after the LIGBT is turned on, the discharge capability is very strong, but the maintenance voltage is small. Therefore, when it is used for protection between VDD and VSS, it is easy to generate a latch-up phenomenon, resulting in power supply failure. Continuous discharge will eventually burn out the ESD protection circuit

Region 32, the upper end surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 3 is provided with a field oxide layer 8 and a first thin oxide layer 10, and the first thin oxide layer 10...

Embodiment 2

[0029] Such as Image 6 As shown, in this example, on the basis of the structure of Embodiment 1, a P-sink doped region 7 is added under the first N-type heavily doped region 21 and the first P-type heavily doped region 31, and the P- The sink doped region wraps the first N-type heavily doped region 21 and the first P-type heavily doped region 31, the depth of the P-sink doped region 7 is larger than the depth of the first P-type well region 4, and the structure The doping concentration of the first P-type well region in the relative image 3 The first P-type well region of the shown structure is relatively low, which increases the withstand voltage of the LIGBT, and the doping concentration of the P-sink doped region 7 of this structure is relatively high.

[0030] The working principle of this example is the same as that of Example 1, except that the concentration of the P-sink doped region is larger than that of the P well region, so the parasitic resistance R B The volta...

Embodiment 3

[0032] Such as Figure 7 As shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1 of this example, the second P-type well region 5 is deleted, and the second N-type heavily doped region 22 and the third N-type heavily doped region 23 are changed to the third P-type heavily doped region region 33 and the fourth P-type heavily doped region 34. The polysilicon region 11 is connected to a negative low voltage source through wires.

[0033] The working principle of this example is the same as that of Example 1. The difference is that the structure of LIGBT and PMOS is used in series, and a reverse low voltage needs to be applied to the gate of PMOS to control the opening of the parasitic SCR of LIGBT.

Abstract

The invention relates to the electronic technology and specifically relates to a strong anti-latch-up controllable LIGBT (Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) device with an ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protective function. The LIGBT device isolates an N-type epitaxial layer 3 by an isolation area 13 into two parts; a first P-type well region 4 and an N-type well region 6 are arranged in the N-type epitaxial layer 3 at one side of the isolation area 13; a second P-type well region 5 is arranged in the N-type epitaxial layer 3 at the other end of the isolation area 13; and a second N-type heavy doping region 22 and a third N-type heavy doping region 23 which are independent with each other are arranged in the second P-type well region 5. The strong anti-latch-up controllable LIGBT device disclosed by the invention has the beneficial effects that on an no-power condition, current is leaked by a parasitic SCR (Semiconductor Control Rectifier), so that ESD ability is very strong; under a power-on state, the parasitic SCR of the LIGBT cannot be started and snapback is not generated, so that maintaining voltage higher than breakdown voltage is achieved, and therefore, the anti-lath-up ability is very strong. The strong anti-latch-up controllable LIGBT device disclosed by the invention is especially suitable for the LIGBT device used for ESD protection.
