Problems solved by technology

However, the inventors of the present invention found in the follow-up scientific research work that there is a potential PNPN collusion phenomenon in the low-power bidirectional SCR device structure of this structure, which leads to the leakage current of the low-power bidirectional SCR device structure when the working voltage is 1.5V The sharp increase makes the device unable to achieve low power consumption when the operating voltage is above 1.5V, such as Figure 9 shown

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of electrostatic protection, and provides a low-voltage one-way / two-way SCR device for ESD protection; ) contains 3 N+ / P‑WELL diodes, which further enhances the DC blocking capability of the device, resulting in lower leakage current, lower static power consumption, and more stable parasitic capacitance values ​​than traditional ESD protection devices. Better electrostatic protection effect; compared with the existing low-power bidirectional SCR devices for ESD protection, the present invention adopts a novel structure design to avoid the potential PNPN cross-connection phenomenon in the device structure, so that the low-voltage bidirectional SCR device has an operating voltage of 1.5 There is no sudden increase in leakage current at V, that is, the device of the present invention can still achieve effective ESD protection with lower power consumption when the operating voltage is above 1.5V and below 1.8V.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrostatic protection, and in particular relates to a low-voltage unidirectional and bidirectional SCR device for ESD protection. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of integrated circuit technology, the chip damage caused by Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) events is becoming more and more serious, which seriously restricts the reliability of semiconductor products; ) ESD protection design is very necessary; and, on the whole, the more advanced the manufacturing process, the more difficult the ESD protection project is. [0003] Among the many optional ESD protection devices, SCR (Silicon-Controlled-Rectifier, silicon controlled rectifier) ​​has a very high area efficiency and is widely used. In the low-voltage field, the direct-connected SCR (DCSCR, directly-connected SCR) is widely used, and its traditional bidirectional structure such as figure 1 As shown, its equivalent c...
