Embodiment Construction

[0029] As mentioned in the background art, an existing ESD protection structure of a semiconductor device is realized by arranging a pair of back-to-back diodes. The working principle of this ESD protection structure is that when the externally applied voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage of one of the diodes, the ESD protection structure works in a conduction mode, and the external voltage is derived from the branch where the ESD protection structure is located. In this case, the breakdown voltage of each diode is proportional to the on-resistance Rdson when the structure turns on. In order to achieve the protection voltage required by the device, in the prior art, a thick field oxide layer is formed between the two P-well regions to increase the resistance value of Rdson, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage. However, this method of increasing the on-resistance will reduce the withstand current of the EDS protection structure, causing the ESD protection structur...

Abstract

The invention discloses an electrostatic discharge protection structure in a semiconductor device, and the semiconductor device. The structure is provided with a pair of opposite diodes. A field plate which is always grounded is disposed above the node region of one diode. A depletion layer of the node region is increased through an internal electric field between the field plate and an N-type trench region, so as to improve the breakdown voltage. Because there is no oxidation layer, a conduction resistance Rdson is reduced, thereby enabling a withstand current value to be increased, and effectively solving a problem of conflict between the breakdown voltage and the withstand current.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor device production, in particular to a semiconductor device with an electrostatic protection structure. Background technique [0002] Static electricity exists all the time in nature. When the external environment of the chip or the static charge accumulated inside the chip flows into or out of the chip through the pins of the chip, the instantaneous current (peak value can reach several amperes) or voltage will damage the integrated circuit. circuit, making the chip function invalid. With the development of the semiconductor industry, the feature size is further reduced, the component density is increasing, and the electronic components are more likely to suffer from electrostatic damage. Industrial electronic devices must be designed with qualified electrostatic protection. [0003] Among power amplifier devices, high-power devices such as VDMOS, LDMOS, and IGBT can withstand high voltage, and the m...
