Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrostatic protection of semiconductor devices, and in particular to a gate-controlled enhanced asymmetric bidirectional thyristor electrostatic protection device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the continuous improvement of scientific and technological levels, the development of integrated circuits (ICs) has developed from submicron to deep submicron and has entered the nanometer level. With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, chip size has gradually decreased, and the number of transistors that can be integrated per unit chip area has continued to increase, which makes the chip more sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). The accumulation of electrostatic charge is ubiquitous and widely present in all areas of daily life. Therefore, more and more IC designers have begun to focus on ESD protection of semiconductors. Relevant data show that in the application of integrated circuits and microelectronic products, failures caused by ESD will cause hundreds of billions of economic losses each year, which reflects the importance of ESD protection in electronic product design. In the field of high voltage, this problem is particularly prominent. High operating voltage brings a series of troubles to ESD design, which requires ESD protection devices to have fast turn-on speed, high holding voltage and high failure current.
[0003] At present, there are many problems with the actual use of traditional silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs). When the ESD pulse reaches the anode of the traditional SCR, the device forms a positive feedback loop composed of parasitic PNP and parasitic NPN under the action of the avalanche effect to release the electrostatic current, which makes the traditional SCR have a lower holding voltage. However, in the high-voltage field, due to the high operating voltage of the chip, the low holding voltage of the traditional SCR is prone to cause a latch effect and burn the entire chip. In addition, since the reverse path of the traditional SCR is equivalent to a forward-biased diode, it cannot be applied to a bidirectional port. The above shortcomings make the traditional SCR unable to effectively protect the internal core circuit of the chip.
[0004] The structure and equivalent circuit of traditional silicon controlled rectifier are as follows Figure 1 When the anode of the device is hit by ESD, an avalanche breakdown effect occurs between the anode NW and the cathode PW, generating a large number of avalanche carriers that enter the cathode PW of the device and P1A voltage drop is generated on the cathode. This turns on the parasitic NPN transistor composed of the cathode N+, PW, and NW. When NW and PW are in reverse bias, the parasitic PNP transistor composed of the anode P+, anode PW, and cathode PW operates in the saturation region. When the NPN and PNP parasitic transistors enter the saturation region, the traditional SCR is fully turned on, forming a low-resistance PNPN path to release the electrostatic current, and the thyristor path is fully turned on. At this time, the traditional SCR produces a negative resistance phenomenon, and the current continues to increase while the voltage decreases. However, the maintenance voltage of the device is usually low. When the normal operating voltage of the protected chip is higher than the device maintenance voltage, it is very easy to cause a latch effect and burn the chip. Summary of the invention

[0007] In the above-mentioned gate-controlled enhanced asymmetric bidirectional thyristor electrostatic protection device, when the ESD stress reaches the anode of the device and the cathode of the device is grounded, the second NW region, the first HVNW region, the second PW region, and the first P-Epi region undergo avalanche breakdown, and then the parasitic PNP1 transistor composed of the second PW region, the first P-Epi region, the second NW region, the first HVNW region, the third PW region, and the second P-Epi region is turned on; the parasitic NPN1 transistor composed of the first N+ injection region, the second PW region, the first P-Epi region, the first HVNW region, the second NW region, the first HVNW region, the second NW region, the first N+ injection region, the second PW region, the first P-Epi region, the first HVNW region, and the second NW region is turned on; the base region of the NPN1 transistor is connected through the parasitic resistor R P1 Connected to the second P+ injection area, and led to the cathode by the second P+ injection area. When the ESD stress reaches the cathode of the device and the anode of the device is grounded, the third NW area, the first HVNW area, the third PW area, and the second P-Epi area undergo avalanche breakdown, and then the parasitic PNP2 transistor composed of the third PW area, the second P-Epi area, the third NW area, the first HVNW area, and the fourth PW area is turned on; the parasitic NPN2 transistor composed of the third N+ injection area, the third PW area, the second P-Epi area, the third NW area, and the first HVNW area is turned on; the base area of the NPN2 transistor is connected to the cathode of the device and the anode of the device is grounded. P2 Connected to the fourth P+ injection area, and led to the anode by the fourth P+ injection area. Thus, a gate-controlled enhanced asymmetric bidirectional thyristor electrostatic protection device is formed. By segmenting the first N+ injection area and the third N+ injection area and embedding the polysilicon gate, a trapezoidal polysilicon gate is formed, thereby enhancing the gate control effect, using the gate electric field to drive the current to a deeper path, and improving the robustness of the device. In addition, the segmentation of the emitter N+ injection area reduces the emission efficiency of the parasitic NPN and improves the holding voltage of the device.

Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. Thus, a gate-controlled enhanced asymmetric bidirectional thyristor rectifier is formed, which suppresses the positive feedback effect of the thyristor and achieves the purpose of increasing the device holding voltage; because there is an electric field with the same direction as the current path under the gate, the SCR current flows to a deeper path, which improves the robustness and failure current of the device.
