Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical over-stress (EOS) pulse protection for integrated circuits (ICs). Specifically, it provides an integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit with high voltage resistance and low hysteresis characteristics, which can be applied to the electrostatic and surge protection of high voltage drive chips in complex electromagnetic environments, so as to improve the reliability, stability and service life of the chip and its application system. Background Technology

[0002] Electrostatic discharge (ESD), also known as surge, is a major cause of electronic equipment failure. High-voltage driver chips are widely used in industrial control, power electronics, and automotive electronics, and need to withstand high voltage and high power operating conditions in complex electromagnetic environments. This places higher demands on the transient overvoltage tolerance and long-term reliability of high-voltage driver chips; however, current ESD / EOS protection technologies for high-voltage driver chips still face many challenges.

[0003] Due to their simple structure and good process compatibility, traditional bijunction transistors, gate-grounded NMOS, and gate-connected power PMOS are widely used for high-voltage ESD / EOS protection. However, their poor current conduction uniformity and weak current discharge capacity per unit area make them difficult to meet the high reliability requirements of high-voltage driver chips. SCR structures exhibit advantages in high-voltage applications due to their excellent current discharge capability and high robustness. However, their high trigger voltage and large hysteresis voltage amplitude after turn-on may prevent timely response under transient stress, or trigger latch-up effects, leading to the burnout of the protected circuit or signal turbulence under ESD / EOS stress. Zener diodes, as a voltage regulator structure, have good voltage clamping characteristics and can effectively suppress large hysteresis, preventing circuit damage or latch-up. However, when using Zener structures alone, their voltage withstand and overcurrent capabilities are limited, making it difficult to meet the electrostatic discharge and surge protection requirements in high-voltage environments. Laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) devices are widely used in high-voltage drive circuits due to their excellent thermal stability and high withstand voltage characteristics. LDMOS devices not only maintain stable performance under high temperature and high power conditions, but also improve the switching efficiency, reduce on-resistance, and enhance the circuit's anti-interference capability. Based on this, this invention provides an integrated electrostatic discharge (ESD) surge protection circuit for a high-reliability high-voltage drive chip, to meet the high-reliability ESD / EOS integrated protection requirements of high-voltage drive chips in complex electromagnetic environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly reliable integrated electrostatic discharge (ESD) and surge protection circuit for high-voltage driver chips, addressing issues such as latch-up, high trigger voltage, poor robustness, and slow turn-on speed in traditional high-voltage ESD / EOS protection solutions. This invention technically embeds an SCR structure, a Zener structure, and an LDMOS structure to form a multi-composite transistor integrated ESD / EOS protection and discharge path, achieving rapid turn-on and anti-latch-up characteristics, and improving the circuit's discharge capability. Specifically, this invention integrates the voltage clamping capability of a Zener diode, the high withstand voltage capability of an LDMOS, the fast response characteristics of a composite transistor, and the strong discharge capability of an SCR, achieving integrated ESD and surge protection performance. Under ESD / EOS electrical stress, the composite structure in this invention promotes the orderly turn-on of the Zener, SCR, and LDMOS structures through positive feedback, thereby meeting the ESD and EOS protection requirements for different pulse frequencies. This not only significantly reduces hysteresis and trigger voltage but also effectively avoids latch-up. Furthermore, this composite structure can be flexibly adjusted according to different protection level requirements, providing an efficient and reliable solution and significantly improving the system reliability and operational stability of the high-voltage driver chip.

D It is composed of the second N+ implantation region (117), the PB doped layer (110) and the P well (108).

[0033] In terms of working principle:

[0034] The integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit of the high-reliability high-voltage driver chip mainly includes: a fast-opening path, an SCR main discharge path, and a voltage regulation clamping path.

[0035] The quick start path is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes: the Zener tube Z D The second resistor R2, the first resistor R1, and the PNP transistor T p1 and the NPN transistor T n1 The Zener tube Z D The cathode is connected to the anode of the ESD / EOS protection circuit, and the Zener diode Z... D The anode of the NPN transistor T n1 The base of the second resistor R2 is connected to the base of the PNP transistor T; one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the anode of the ESD / EOS protection circuit, and the other end is connected to the base of the PNP transistor T. p1 The base of the PNP transistor T is connected; p1 The emitter of the PNP transistor is connected to the anode of the ESD / EOS protection circuit. p1 The base of the NPN transistor T n1 The collector of the PNP transistor T is connected to the collector of the PNP transistor T. p1 The collector of the NPN transistor T n1 The base of the first resistor R1 is connected to the base of the NPN transistor T; one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the base of the NPN transistor T. n1 The base of the transistor is connected to the base of the transistor, and the other end is connected to the cathode of the ESD / EOS protection circuit; the NPN transistor T n1 The emitter of the Zener diode is connected to the cathode of the ESD / EOS protection circuit; wherein, the Zener diode Z... D Zener breakdown occurs, and the PNP transistor T p1Avalanche breakdown occurs at the base and collector of the NPN transistor, causing the voltage drop across the first resistor R1 to change faster than that across the second resistor R2. Therefore, the NPN transistor T... n1 Compared to the PNP transistor T p1 First, it is turned on, and positive feedback causes the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit to turn on; the drift current when it is not turned on has a regulating effect on the turn-on speed, which can improve the response speed of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit and reduce the trigger voltage.

[0036] The SCR main discharge path is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes: the PNP transistor T p1 The NPN transistor T n2 And the first resistor R1; when the voltage drop across the first resistor R1 reaches 0.7 or more, the voltage drop across the second resistor R2 also quickly reaches 0.7 or more, thus opening the main discharge path of the SCR and starting discharge;

[0037] The voltage stabilizing clamping path is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes: the Zener tube Z D and the LDMOS power transistor M1; the Zener transistor Z D The clamping voltage can be used when the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit is turned on to suppress the large current injection phenomenon caused by the large sweepback of the conduction voltage after the SCR main discharge path is triggered to turn on, thereby enhancing the withstand voltage and latch-up immunity of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit. The source and gate of the LDMOS power transistor M1 are respectively connected to the anode of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit, and the drain of the LDMOS power transistor M1 is connected to the cathode of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit.

The LDMOS power transistor M1 turns on and discharges current when the ESD / EOS electrical stress continues to increase, realizing the high voltage triggering function.

The first trigger current and the second trigger current can improve the response speed of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit and reduce the trigger voltage.

[0039] When the ESD or EOS electrical stress is large, the voltage on the first resistor R1 in the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit continuously increases, and under the positive feedback of the NPN transistor Tp1 and the second transistor Tp1, the voltage on the second resistor R2 continuously increases, which can form an ESD or EOS current discharge channel of the SCR structure, thereby enhancing the robustness of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit.

[0040] When the ESD or EOS electrical stress continues to increase, the LDMOS power transistor M1 in the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit turns on and discharges current to achieve high voltage triggering performance.

[0041] When the ESD or EOS electrical stress increases and triggers the activation of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit, the Zener diode ZD can suppress the large current discharge in the SCR structure that causes a large sweepback of the conduction voltage, thereby enhancing the latch-up resistance of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit.

[0042] Furthermore, the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit is applied to high-voltage driver chips in different power domains, and the Zener diode Z can be adjusted according to the power domain voltage and circuit operating characteristics requirements. D The number of cascaded circuits further enhances the withstand voltage and latch-up immunity of the integrated ESD / EOS protection circuit, such as... Figure 5 As shown.
