Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when a static electricity discharges the electrostatic protection NMOS transistor element 30, part of the electrostatic discharge current will flow through the substrate resistance R, and at this time, the base of the parasitic bipolar junction transistor BJT of the NMOS transistor Mn in the middle region The resistance R will be higher than the Mn of the NMOS transistors in the regions on both sides, causing the BJT parasitic on the NMOS in the middle region to be turned on first, so it is easy to burn the NMOS transistor Mn in the middle region
[0004] Therefore, currently in the electrostatic protection of integrated circuits for NMOS transistor components, the electrostatic discharge tolerance of large-area structures still cannot provide their electrostatic tolerance, so further improvement is necessary

Abstract

The invention discloses a layout structure of an electrostatic protection element with high electrostatic discharge tolerance, which includes a plurality of parallel-connected NMOS transistors, and these parallel-connected NMOS transistors form an isolated NMOS multi-finger semiconductor layout structure; wherein the The middle region of the isolated NMOS multi-finger semiconductor layout structure is a P-type doped region doped with high-energy P-type implanted ion concentration, which reduces the substrate resistance of the middle region; thus, the corresponding The total substrate resistance of the NMOS transistor is reduced, and the substrate resistance difference between it and the NMOS transistor corresponding to one of the two sides is reduced, so that the NMOS transistor can be uniformly turned on, and the electrostatic discharge tolerance of the NMOS transistor is improved.
