Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ESD protection circuit design of semiconductor integrated chips, and particularly relates to a static discharge protection GGNMOS structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the feature size of the manufacturing process of semiconductor integrated circuits becoming smaller and smaller, the size of the chip unit is also becoming smaller and smaller, and the anti-static ability of the chip is becoming more and more important. The destructive effect of electrostatic discharge on IC chips is more significant. Static electricity often causes a permanent damage to semiconductor components and computer systems, thereby affecting the circuit function of the integrated circuit and making the electronic product work abnormally, so some protection measures or functions must be designed to protect the chip from the damage caused by electrostatic discharge.

[0003] The design of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device on the chip needs to consider two aspects: one is that the ESD protection device should be able to discharge large current; the other is that the ESD protection device should be able to clamp the pin end voltage of the chip to a safe low voltage level when the chip is subjected to ESD impact. Based on the above design considerations, the devices used for ESD protection mainly include diodes, GGNMOS (Gate Ground NMOS), GDPMOS (Gate Drain PMOS), silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR), etc. Among them, the SCR has single-direction, double-direction, turn-off and light control types, and has the advantages of small size, light weight, high efficiency, long service life, convenient control, etc., and is widely used in automatic control and high-power electric energy conversion occasions such as controllable rectification, voltage regulation, inversion and non-contact switch. The SCR is often used as an ESD protection device, especially for high-voltage ESD protection applications, and the SCR has the advantages of small area and high ESD capacity.

[0004] Currently, a conventional ESD protection GGNMOS device with P Ring (a ring-shaped P-type heavily doped region, a ring-shaped P-type well region located at the bottom of the ring-shaped P-type heavily doped region), N Ring (a ring-shaped N-type heavily doped region, a ring-shaped P-type well region located at the bottom of the ring-shaped N-type heavily doped region) generally includes: a Drain (an N-type heavily doped region, actually), an N Ring, a P Ring, a Bulk (a body region), a Source (an N-type heavily doped region, actually), a Gate (a gate), a P-type well region, and an N-type well region, etc., wherein the Source, the Drain (an N-type heavily doped region, actually), and the N Ring are short-circuited to form an Anode (anode) end, and the P Ring, the Bulk (a body region), the Source (an N-type heavily doped region, actually), and the Gate (a gate) are short-circuited to form a Cathode (cathode) end. When an ESD voltage is applied to the Anode end, an NPN formed by the Drain, the P-type well region, and the Source is turned on to form a main ESD current discharge channel. However, the robustness of such a conventional ESD protection GGNMOS device is poor, and a large chip area is consumed to achieve a high protection level. SUMMARY
