Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrostatic protection, and in particular to a thyristor electrostatic protection device with embedded PNP and GGNMOS and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As integrated circuit manufacturing processes gradually improve and feature sizes gradually decrease, the failure problem caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) has attracted more and more attention. Thinner gate oxides and shallower junction depths in advanced processes are easily affected by electrostatic discharge, and ESD poses a serious threat to integrated circuits. Therefore, engineers will try every means to design ESD protection for integrated circuit chips and electronic products to improve the reliability of chip products.
[0003] Commonly used ESD protection devices include diodes, bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, and silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs). Compared with other ESD protection devices, traditional SCR devices have the advantages of strong discharge capacity per unit area, small parasitic capacitance, and strong robustness. Figure 1 , its equivalent circuit diagram is shown in Figure 2 . When an ESD pulse is applied to the anode of the unidirectional SCR, the first N-well and the first P-well form a reverse-biased PN junction. When the pulse voltage is higher than the avalanche breakdown voltage of the PN junction, a large amount of avalanche current will be generated inside the device. The current flows through the first P-well and flows to the cathode through the parasitic resistance. The voltage drop across the parasitic resistance of the first P-well is equivalent to the base voltage drop of the transistor NPN. When this voltage is higher than the forward conduction voltage of the vertical NPN transistor, the transistor is turned on. After the transistor is turned on, it provides base current for the horizontal PNP transistor, and the horizontal PNP transistor is turned on, further providing base current for the vertical NPN transistor, forming a positive feedback mechanism to fully open the SCR path. Therefore, even if there is no avalanche current afterwards, the large current can be discharged due to the conduction of the transistor.
[0004] However, the trigger voltage of traditional SCR devices is too high, and under advanced process conditions, it has far exceeded the gate oxide breakdown voltage of the protected device. When an ESD event occurs, the internal device has been destroyed by the transient large current before the SCR starts working. Traditional SCR devices also have the disadvantage of too low holding voltage, which is about 2V, and are prone to latch-up risks. Therefore, a lot of in-depth research is needed to apply the SCR structure to actual circuits. How to design an ESD protection device based on the traditional SCR structure so that it retains the advantages of the traditional SCR structure of low clamping voltage and strong robustness, while reducing and increasing the holding voltage to ensure that the device performance parameters meet the design window is a severe and important challenge.

[0015] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a thyristor electrostatic protection device embedded with PNP and GGNMOS, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Step 3: generating a first N-well and a first P-well in the first N-type deep well;

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0026] 1. The present invention adjusts the breakdown surface and, based on the traditional unidirectional thyristor electrostatic protection device, introduces a second P+ injection region spanning between the first N well and the first P well, and adds a second N+ injection region between the first P+ injection region and the second P+ injection region, thereby changing the breakdown surface from the well breakdown of the first N well and the first P well to the junction breakdown of the second N+ injection region and the second P+ injection region, thereby effectively reducing the trigger voltage of the device and making the device easier to turn on.
[0027] 2. In order to better exert the performance of the unidirectional thyristor, the present invention embeds a PNP transistor and a gate-grounded NMOS structure on the basis of the traditional SCR. The first P+ injection region, the second N+ injection region and the second P+ injection region located in the first N well form a lateral PNP type transistor Qp2. When avalanche breakdown occurs between the second N+ injection region and the second P+ injection region, a large number of carriers generated flow into the first N well and the first P well, resulting in a voltage drop of more than 0.7V across the parasitic resistance Rn formed by the first N injection region / first N well / first deep N well / N-type buried layer and the parasitic resistance Rp formed by the fourth P+ injection region / first P well, thereby turning on the main SCR path.
[0028] The third N+ injection region, the first gate and the fourth N+ injection region in the first P well form an NMOS, and the first gate is connected to the cathode, the purpose is to close the conductive channel of the NMOS, and form a parasitic lateral NPN transistor Qn2 in the first P well. The third P+ injection region and the third N+ injection region are connected through a wire, so that the collector of the parasitic NPN transistor Qn2 is connected to the base region of the NPN transistor Qn1 in the main SCR structure, so that the parasitic NPN transistor Qn2 extracts the base current of the NPN transistor Qn1 in the main SCR. At the same time, the collector of the PNP transistor Qp2 is connected to the collector of the parasitic NPN transistor Qn2 through a wire, and the surface path formed by the transistor Qp2 and the transistor Qn2 will shunt the current of the main SCR and weaken the positive feedback effect, thereby increasing the holding voltage of the device. At the same time, the device maintains good ESD robustness.
[0029] 3. The width S1 of the second N+ implantation region of the present invention is adjustable. When S1 is reduced, the trigger path of the device is shortened, and the trigger voltage is reduced accordingly. At the same time, reducing S1 is equivalent to reducing the base width of the parasitic PNP transistor Qp2, thereby improving the emission efficiency of the parasitic PNP transistor Qp2, enhancing the shunting ability of the surface path, and increasing the holding voltage of the device.
[0030] 4. The width S2 of the second P+ injection region of the present invention is adjustable. When S2 increases, it is equivalent to widening the base width of the parasitic PNP transistor Qp1 and the parasitic NPN transistor Qn2, thereby weakening the emission efficiency of the parasitic transistor, weakening the positive feedback effect of the SCR path, and increasing the maintenance voltage.

This structural design can effectively improve the holding voltage of the device.
[0039] In one embodiment, the thyristor electrostatic protection device with embedded PNP and GGNMOS has six field oxygen isolation regions; the first field oxygen isolation region 601 is between the left side of the first N+ injection region 501 and the left edge of the P-type substrate 101, the second field oxygen isolation region 602 is between the first N+ injection region 501 and the first P+ injection region 502, the third field oxygen isolation region 603 is between the second P+ injection region 504 and the third P+ injection region 505, the fourth field oxygen isolation region 604 is between the third P+ injection region 505 and the third N+ injection region 506, the fifth field oxygen isolation region 605 is between the fourth N+ injection region 507 and the fourth P+ injection region 508, and the sixth field oxygen isolation region 606 is between the right side of the fourth P+ injection region 508 and the right edge of the P-type substrate 101.
[0040] In one embodiment, the first field oxygen isolation region 601 and the second field oxygen isolation region 602 are located on the surface of the first N-well 401 ; the third field oxygen isolation region 603 , the fourth field oxygen isolation region 604 , the fifth field oxygen isolation region 605 and the sixth field oxygen isolation region 606 are located on the surface of the first P-well 402 .
[0041] In one embodiment, if Figures 4 to 5 As shown, when the ESD pulse reaches the anode of the device and the cathode of the device is connected to a low potential, its breakdown surface is between the second N+ injection region 503 and the second P+ injection region 504; at this time, the first P+ injection region 502, the second N+ injection region 503 and the second P+ injection region 504 constitute a lateral PNP transistor Qp2, the third N+ injection region 506, the first gate 701 and the fourth N+ injection region 507 constitute an NMOS, and the first gate 701 is connected to the cathode, the purpose is to close the conductive channel of the NMOS, and form a parasitic lateral NPN transistor Qn2 in the first P well 402; the third P+ injection region 505 and the third N+ injection region 506 are connected by a wire, so that the collector of the parasitic NPN transistor Qn2 is connected to the base region of the NPN transistor Qn1 in the main SCR structure, so that the parasitic NPN transistor Qn2 extracts the base current of the NPN transistor Qn1 in the main SCR. At the same time, the collector of the PNP transistor Qp2 is connected to the collector of the parasitic NPN transistor Qn2 through a wire, and the surface path formed by the transistors Qp2 and Qn2 will shunt the current of the main SCR and weaken the positive feedback effect, thereby increasing the holding voltage of the device. At the same time, the device maintains good ESD robustness.
[0042] When a high-voltage ESD pulse reaches the anode of the device and the cathode of the device is connected to a low potential, the first N injection region 501 / the first N well 401 / the first deep N well 301 / the N-type buried layer 201 constitutes a parasitic resistor Rn, and the fourth P+ injection region 508 / the first P well 402 constitutes a parasitic resistor Rp.

When the voltage drop across the parasitic resistor Rp reaches 0.7V, the parasitic transistor NPN Qn1 is turned on and provides base current to the parasitic PNP transistor Qp1, thereby promoting its conduction. When the parasitic PNP transistor Qp1 and the parasitic NPN transistor Qn1 are turned on, a forward SCR path is formed, forming a positive feedback effect, and the device is successfully triggered.
[0043] According to the requirements of the ESD design window in different application scenarios, the device can reduce the width S1 of the second N+ injection region 503, shorten the trigger path of the device, and reduce the trigger voltage accordingly.
