[0028] In an optional implementation, the surface region of the P-type substrate P-SUB is sequentially provided with the first P-well PW1, the N-well NW, and the second P-well PW2 from left to right, the first P-well PW1 and the N-well NW form a first intersection boundary Junction1, and the N-well NW and the second P-well PW2 form a second intersection boundary Junction2.

[0032] In an optional implementation, the first parasitic discharge module B1 is arranged at a region where the P-type substrate P-SUB and the first P-well PW1 are located, and is connected to the first ion implantation region 1, the first junction Junction1 and the third junction Junction3, respectively.

[0033] The second parasitic discharge module B2 is arranged at a region where the P-type substrate P-SUB and the second P-well PW2 are located, and is connected to the second ion implantation region 2, the second junction Junction2 and the third junction Junction3, respectively, and is also connected to the first parasitic discharge module B1.

[0034] The third parasitic discharge module B3 is arranged at a region where the N-well NW is located, and is connected to the third ion implantation region 3, the first junction Junction1, the second junction Junction2 and the third junction Junction3, respectively.

[0035] In an alternative embodiment, the first parasitic bleed module B1 comprises a first parasitic resistor R1 and a first parasitic transistor Q1, the second parasitic bleed module B2 comprises a second parasitic resistor R2 and a second parasitic transistor Q2, the third parasitic bleed module B3 comprises a third parasitic resistor R3, a third parasitic transistor Q3 and a fourth parasitic transistor Q4, the first ion implant region 1 comprises a first N ion implant region 11 and a first P ion implant region 12 arranged in sequence from left to right, the second ion implant region 2 comprises a second P ion implant region 13 and a second N ion implant region 14 arranged in sequence from left to right, and the third ion implant region 3 comprises a third P ion implant region 15, a third N ion implant region 16 and a fourth P ion implant region 17 arranged in sequence from left to right.

[0036] In an alternative embodiment, the base of the first parasitic transistor Q1 is connected to the first P ion implant region 12, the emitter of the first parasitic transistor Q1 and one end of the first parasitic resistor R1 are respectively connected to the first N ion implant region 11, the collector of the first parasitic transistor Q1 is connected to the first junction boundary Junction 1, and the other end of the first parasitic resistor R1 is connected to the third junction boundary Junction 3 and the other end of the second parasitic resistor R2.

[0037] The first parasitic transistor Q1 is arranged in the region where the first P well PW1 is located, the first parasitic resistor R1 is arranged in the region where the P-type substrate P-SUB is located, and the first parasitic transistor Q1 and the second parasitic transistor Q2 are both NPN transistors.

[0038] The base of the second parasitic transistor Q2 is connected to the second P ion implant region 13, the emitter of the second parasitic transistor Q2 and one end of the second parasitic resistor R2 are respectively connected to the second N ion implant region 14, the collector of the second parasitic transistor Q2 is connected to the second junction boundary Junction 2, and the other end of the second parasitic resistor R2 is connected to the third junction boundary Junction 3 and the other end of the first parasitic resistor R1.

[0039] The second parasitic transistor Q2 is arranged in the region where the second P well PW2 is located, and the second parasitic resistor R2 is arranged in the region where the P-type substrate P-SUB is located.

[0040] One end of the third parasitic resistor R3 is connected to the third N ion implant region 16, the emitter of the third parasitic transistor Q3 is connected to the third P ion implant region 15, and the emitter of the fourth parasitic transistor Q4 is connected to the fourth P ion implant region.

[0041] The other end of the third parasitic resistance R3 is connected to the base of the third parasitic transistor Q3, the base of the fourth parasitic transistor Q4, the first junction boundary Junction1 and the second junction boundary Junction2, respectively, and the collector of the third parasitic transistor Q3 and the collector of the fourth parasitic transistor Q4 are connected to the third junction boundary Junction3, respectively.

[0042] The third parasitic resistance R3, the third parasitic transistor Q3 and the fourth parasitic transistor Q4 are arranged in the N-well NW region, wherein the third parasitic transistor Q3 and the fourth parasitic transistor Q4 are PNP transistors.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the collector of the first parasitic transistor Q1 is connected to the base of the third parasitic transistor Q3 through the transition of the first junction boundary Junction1, and the collector of the second parasitic transistor Q2 is connected to the base of the fourth parasitic transistor Q4 through the transition of the second junction boundary Junction2.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the ion concentration in the first junction boundary, the second junction boundary and the third junction boundary is obtained by the N ion concentration injected from the first N ion boundary injection area and the second N ion boundary injection area and the ion doping in the N-well region. Specifically, the doping concentration between the N+ ions injected from the first N ion boundary injection area A1 and the second N ion boundary injection area A2 and the ions in the N-well NW is different in the process. The reverse breakdown voltage is closely related to the concentration in the process. The reverse breakdown voltage of the high concentration is lower than that of the low concentration. According to this principle and actual demand, the present disclosure adds the high concentration doping N+, PW and the junction boundary of NW in parallel through the first N ion boundary injection area A1 and the second N ion boundary injection area. The reverse breakdown voltage can be reduced to meet the actual demand.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the first N ion injection area 11, the first P ion injection area 12, the third P ion injection area 15, the third N ion injection area 16 and the fourth P ion injection area 17 are connected to the VDD end (the internal working voltage end of the device), respectively, and the second P ion injection area 13 and the second N ion injection area 14 are connected to the VSS end (the internal ground end of the device), respectively.

[0046] In the present disclosure, β1 is the amplification of the third parasitic transistor Q3 and the fourth parasitic transistor Q4, β2 is the amplification of the first parasitic transistor Q1 and the second parasitic transistor Q2, and Ib2 is the corresponding reverse leakage current of the N-well NW, the first P-well PW1 and the second P-well PW2.

[0047] As the electrostatic discharge device provided in FIG. 2, when the ESD charge attacks, the first junction boundary Junction1 and the second junction boundary Junction2 bear the attacking ESD charge, and the reverse breakdown leakage Ib2 begins before the junction boundary between the P-well and the N-well provided in the corresponding scheme of the conventional electrostatic discharge device starts reverse breakdown leakage Ib2. Since the first parasitic resistance R1 is the terminal resistance between the base and the emitter of the first parasitic transistor Q1, and the second parasitic resistance R2 is the terminal resistance between the base and the emitter of the second parasitic transistor Q2, according to Ohm's law, the terminal voltage between the base and the emitter of the first parasitic transistor Q1 is Vbe2(B1) = Ib2 x R1, and the terminal voltage between the base and the emitter of the second parasitic transistor Q2 is Vbe2(B2) = Ib2 x R2.

[0048] When the voltage drop on Vbe2(B1) or Vbe2(B2) is greater than 0.7v, the emitter of the first parasitic transistor Q1 or the second parasitic transistor Q2 is forward biased, and the collector is reverse biased. The first parasitic transistor Q1 or the second parasitic transistor Q2 is in the triode amplification region, and the current Ic2 flowing through the first parasitic transistor Q1 or the second parasitic transistor Q2 is Ic2 = β2 x Ib2. Since this Ic2 current passes through the third parasitic resistance R3, which is also the terminal resistance between the base and the emitter of the third parasitic transistor Q3 or the fourth parasitic transistor Q4, the terminal voltage between the base and the emitter of the third parasitic transistor Q3 or the fourth parasitic transistor Q4 can also be obtained as Vbe1 = Ic2 x R3, which is equivalent to Ib2 as Vbe1 = β2 x Ib2 x R1. At this time, the emitter of the third parasitic transistor Q3 and the fourth parasitic transistor Q4 is forward biased, and the collector is reverse biased. The third parasitic transistor Q3 and the fourth parasitic transistor Q4 are in the triode amplification region, and Ic1 = β1 x β2 x Ib2. This cycle continues until the ESD charge is discharged, thereby achieving the protection purpose of the functional device.

[0049] The difference between the present disclosure and the conventional scheme provided by the related art is that a high-concentration junction boundary is added in parallel between VDD and VSS. The reverse breakdown voltage of this junction boundary is significantly lower than the reverse breakdown voltage of the P-well and the N-well itself. Due to the reduction of the reverse breakdown bias voltage (hysteresis voltage) between VDD and VSS, the electrostatic discharge device can start the related protection at a relatively low voltage, which significantly improves the product application and ESD performance.

[0050] Those skilled in the art can clearly understand that, for the convenience and brevity of description, the specific working process of the system and device described above can refer to the corresponding process in the foregoing method embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

In addition, the coupling or direct coupling or communication connection between the units shown or discussed can be indirect coupling or communication connection through some communication interfaces, devices or units, and can be electrical, mechanical or other forms.

[0052] In addition, the functional units in each embodiment of the present disclosure can be integrated in one processing unit, or each unit can exist physically, or two or more units can be integrated in one unit.
