Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a SOC integrated circuit, and in particular to a CDM (Charged Device Model) protection structure of a SOC chip. Background Art
[0002] As the integration of SOC chips becomes higher and higher and CMOS technology becomes more and more advanced, how to improve CDM capabilities has become a very important issue.
[0003] In the semiconductor manufacturing and assembly process, it is relatively easy to control potential ESD problems of machines and personnel. Semiconductor devices include ESD protection circuits. To ensure the effectiveness and reliability requirements of the JEDEC standard, ESD testing must be performed to qualify the parts. There are three main test models for ESD testing: human body model (HBM), charging device model (CDM) and machine model (MM). Among them, the human body model and machine model are easier to simulate and control because of the external excitation drive signal and the long discharge time, which is farther than the working frequency band (>1GHz). CDM refers to the chip / bare die that has accumulated a large amount of charge inside itself due to external electric fields, frictional charging and other factors. When it comes into contact with the grounded conductor (the grounding here is a relative probability, as long as the potential is relatively low enough, it can be considered as grounding, such as ground potential or metal casing, tools, etc.), a large amount of charge escapes from the system, and an electrostatic pulse will be generated in a very short time. This pulse is the CDM discharge. The discharge characteristics of CDM are short time, high current pulse, and uncertain waveform. Its discharge time is shorter and the discharge phenomenon is more difficult to simulate.
[0004] With the advancement of CMOS technology, the operating voltage of transistors is developing towards low voltage, and the voltage and current capacity that transistors can withstand are also getting lower and lower. The CDM protection capability of chips is also receiving more and more attention from the industry. With the improvement of chip integration, especially the development of SOC chips, the chip area is getting larger and larger. The larger the area, the higher the charging energy, which makes the final discharge current larger and more likely to damage the device. The 22nm CMOS process, in the 10mm 2 Up to 100mm 2 The CDM capability of integrated circuit chips is between 150V and 250V, while the CDM capability that can be controlled by the chip assembly factory during the packaging factory and chip system integration assembly process can only reach 200V. In order to ensure that the chip does not have a reduced yield due to CDM failure, it is necessary to improve the CDM protection capability of the integrated circuit.
[0005] One method of protecting against CDM electrostatic discharge is to add parallel ESD clamp components to the chip's input port. This design includes adding series resistors and additional PMOS and NMOS transistors between the input port and the core device to enhance the protection effect. When charge accumulates inside the chip and the port is grounded, the ESD clamp component responds quickly, directing most of the current to the clamp component and limiting the voltage at the input port to a lower level (e.g. 5V). This clamping action reduces the voltage shock to the core device. Once the voltage drops to the point where the ESD clamp component is no longer effective, another ESD protection circuit is activated, allowing the remaining current to discharge through the transistor and series resistor to further protect the core device. This protection method is particularly effective for digital circuits because the input end of digital circuits usually processes 0V and full-amplitude signals, the signal is transmitted in the form of voltage, and the input impedance of the core component is large and the current is small. Even if a series resistor is added, the effect on the signal voltage is minimal. However, for analog circuits, especially those used in receiver systems such as low-noise amplifiers, such additional protection components may increase front-end losses and reduce receiver sensitivity.
[0006] Existing technologies are mainly used for CDM protection of digital circuits, and the industry has also done a lot of research on CDM protection of individual analog circuits. For chips with operating frequencies exceeding 5GHz, there are a variety of ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection design schemes to choose from. Among them, parallel LC resonators, impedance matching, T-coils, and harmonic distribution ESD protection schemes have shown good results in CDM protection. However, these schemes are achieved at the cost of occupying chip area and increasing design complexity. When the chip area remains unchanged, the accumulated charge inside the chip will eventually discharge through the pins. Although the frequency of discharge will be changed through the matching of the external circuit, this adjustment has limited effect on improving CDM protection capabilities.

[0050] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a SOC chip, comprising the CDM protection structure of the SOC chip of any of the aforementioned embodiments.
[0051] The SOC chip CDM protection structure of the present invention significantly improves the chip's protection capability against electrostatic discharge through carefully designed inductors and ESD protection paths. The structure controls the CDM discharge path by adding an inductor path, slows down the charge release speed, and reduces the current flowing through the core transistor to protect the transistor connected to the PIN-RF from damage. The present invention utilizes the inductive reactance characteristics of the inductor to hinder the high-frequency discharge current, thereby protecting the sensitive RF CMOS active transistor. This design not only improves the CDM protection capability of the chip, but also has minimal impact on the quality of the RF signal, ensuring the sensitivity of the receiver and the integrity of the signal transmission. In addition, through simulation modeling and testing, the present invention demonstrates effective control of CDM discharge at different operating frequencies and minimal impact on the quality of the RF signal. The present invention can provide comprehensive CDM protection for the SOC chip without significantly increasing the chip area and design complexity. This protection structure is particularly suitable for high-frequency applications, and can improve the CDM protection capability of the chip without affecting the sensitivity of the receiver, meet the effectiveness and reliability requirements of the JEDEC standard, and thus reduce the risk of yield reduction due to CDM failure.
[0052] The specific embodiments and experimental verification of the present invention are further described below.
[0053] A CDM protection structure for a SOC chip is designed based on a digital-analog hybrid SOC system, in which a bare wafer is packaged on a substrate. The digital ground and analog ground on the bare wafer are led out to the substrate through independent pins, and the radio frequency signal pin PIN-RF on the substrate is connected to the digital ground pin through an inductor.
[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the CDM protection structure of the embodiment of the present invention is particularly suitable for SOC system chips containing digital and analog circuits. On the wafer, the ground PAD-AVSS of the analog chip and the ground PAD-DVSS of the digital chip are connected in the form of a guard ring to reduce interference between different circuit parts. PAD-AVSS and PAD-DVSS can be separately led out to the substrate through leads or flip-chip. On the package side, the RF signal pin PIN-RF is connected to PIN-DVSS through an inductor to form an ESD3 path for discharge.
[0055] When the CDM is charged, the digital circuit and the analog circuit are charged at the same time. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the substrate does not add inductance, the charge of the analog circuit is discharged through the ESD1 path, while the charge of the digital circuit is discharged through the ESD2 path, passing through the sensitive device and finally reaching the PIN-RF. Figure 3As shown in the figure, after increasing the inductance between PIN-RF and PIN-DVSS, the charge of the analog circuit is still discharged through the ESD1 path. Since PAD-AVSS and PAD-DVSS inside the wafer have certain resistance characteristics, the charge of the digital circuit will pass through the newly formed ESD3 path, pass through the inductor on the substrate, and finally reach PIN-RF for discharge.
[0056] The design of the present invention significantly improves the CDM protection capability of the chip, especially for digital circuits with a larger area, the performance improvement is more obvious. Figure 4 The simulation modeling results of the present invention are shown, in which the charging equivalent capacitance of the packaged chip is simulated as 2pF, the substrate resistance is 15ohm, and the interconnection resistance of the digital ground and the analog ground is also 15ohm. The inductance added to the substrate is 3nH, the inductor resistance is between 0.5ohm and 5ohm, and the simulated CDM voltage is 250V.
[0057] FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C The results of CDM simulation without adding inductance are shown in Figure 5A is the current at the PAD end, Figure 5B is the current on the ESD, Figure 5C is the current in the low noise amplifier LNA. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C The results of CDM simulation after adding inductance according to the solution of the present invention are shown, wherein Fig. 6A is the current at the PAD end, Figure 6B is the current on the ESD, Figure 6C is the current on the LNA. Compared with the case where the inductance is not added, the current flowing through the LNA is reduced from 0.149mA to 0.094mA. Assuming that the original LNA can withstand a voltage of 250V, the voltage that the present invention can withstand is 250V*0.149 / 0.094=396V.
[0058] Analysis of the impact on RF signal quality: After the chip containing the present invention is attached to the PCB, PIN-DVSS and PIN-AVSS are connected on the PCB. From the perspective of board-level RF, a large inductor and a long trace are connected in parallel to the ground at the RF connection port. The Q value of the inductor on the substrate can be very high. For example, the Q value of a 4nH inductor can reach more than 30. In addition, a high-resistance line of a certain length (width 6mil, length 4mm) is added to the substrate. Figure 7 As shown, assuming an RF system with 50 ohms input and output, its impact on the main frequency band 2.4 GHz is 0.296 dB, and 5.8 GHz and 8 GHz are less than 0.1 dB.
[0059] The present invention can also be used on a single analog chip, such as Figure 8As shown in the figure, the ground of the core components sensitive to CDM and the ground of the non-sensitive devices (but with a larger area and a larger amount of electricity when CDM is charged) are separated on the wafer (not completely separated, they will still be connected through psub, but with a larger resistance value), and then the grounds PAD-AVSS1 and PAD-AVSS2 of the core components sensitive to CDM are brought out separately, and on the package side, the protected pins PIN-RF and PIN-AVSS2 are connected through inductance, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the CDM protection capability.
