Embodiment Construction

[0021] Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment the present invention will be described in further detail:

[0022] The example of the present invention designs an ESD self-protection device with an LDMOS-SCR structure with high maintenance current and strong robustness, which not only makes full use of the high-voltage resistance characteristics of the LDMOS device, but also utilizes the low on-resistance and large current discharge of the SCR device The characteristics of the ability, using another current conduction path formed by connecting two parasitic diodes with the LDMOS conductive channel, on the one hand, it can increase the holding current after the device triggers back to hysteresis; on the other hand, it can also increase the device conduction The final ESD current discharge capability enhances the ESD robustness of the device. And by adjusting some key layout size parameters, the device can meet the high-voltage ESD protection in po...
