Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a transistor chip structure with high antistatic ability includes two MOS structures and a capacitor structure. The two MOS structures include a substrate layer 1, a first conductive layer 2, a heavily doped first conductive layer 3, a second conductive layer 4, an insulating layer 5, a polysilicon layer 6, a silicon nitride insulating layer 7, a PSG layer 8 and a metal electrode layer 9. In the two MOS structures, the source or drain of the first-level MOS structure serves as the gate of the second-level MOS structure. A parallel diode is arranged between the gate of the first MOS and a common ground electrode, and one end of the parallel diode is connected to the gate electrode of the first MOS structure, and the other end is connected to the ground electrode. The first conductive layer 2, the heavily doped first conductive layer 3 and the second conductive layer 4 are prepared with high-temperature polysilicon or single-crystal silicon as the main material, and the substrate material can be a conductive material. At this time, the conductive property of the first conductive layer semiconductor is opposite to that of the substrate; in addition, the substrate material can also be an insulating material. At this time, the first conductive layer 2 can be an N-type or P-type semiconductor; the carrier concentration of the second conductive layer 4 is 5×10 18 ~5×10 19 cm -3 , the impurity ion concentration of the heavily doped first conductive layer 3 is 5×10 18 ~2×10 20 cm -3 The diode is arranged in the area between the gate of the MOS structure and the common ground electrode. The first electrode of the diode is the common ground electrode, and the doping type of the semiconductor layer connected to the first electrode of the diode is opposite to the doping type of the semiconductor layer in the source and drain area of ​​the MOS structure. It can be manufactured by ion implantation or in-situ doping and other processes. The other end electrode of the diode is connected to the gate electrode of the first-level MOS structure, i.e., the scanning transistor. The conductive property of the semiconductor layer connected to it is the same as the conductive property of the source and drain layer semiconductor of the MOS structure. The semiconductor layer connected to the first electrode of the diode forms a pn junction. The semiconductor layer can be manufactured synchronously with the source and drain doping process. By adjusting the spatial distance between the semiconductor layer and the above-mentioned semiconductor layer, the antistatic ability and voltage resistance of the diode can be adjusted to ensure that the diode can protect the MOS structure by ensuring normal operation according to the working conditions of this structure.

[0016] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0017] The present invention connects a diode in reverse parallel to the traditional 2T1C driver chip, so that the driver chip can better withstand the impact of static electricity during processing and transfer, thereby increasing the yield rate of the display unit and improving the display effect; at the same time, the structure and method proposed by the present invention fully utilize the MOS structure space, and the process flow and manufacturing process are completely consistent with the original MOS manufacturing process, which will not lead to cost increase and has obvious advantages.

[0018] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: the MOS structure is manufactured, firstly, the first conductive layer 2 is implanted on the substrate layer 1, then field oxygen is manufactured, and photolithography and etching are performed, then the first conductive layer 3 is heavily doped by photolithography, and ion implantation is performed, then the capacitor area is photolithography, the second conductive layer 4 is N-type ion implanted, and then the polysilicon layer 6 is manufactured, the polysilicon 6 is deposited, and etching is performed, and finally the PSG layer 8 and through-hole etching are performed, and metal is deposited to form a metal electrode layer 9 for easy electrical connection. By reversely connecting a diode in parallel in the traditional 2T1C driver chip, the driver chip can better withstand the impact of static electricity during processing and transfer, thereby improving the yield rate of the display unit and improving the display effect; at the same time, the structure and method proposed by the present invention make full use of the MOS structure space, and the process flow and manufacturing process are completely consistent with the original MOS manufacturing, which will not lead to cost increase and has obvious advantages.
