Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to an ESD device with an LDMOSFET structure and a manufacturing method and a chip. Background Art

[0002] ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) refers to the charge transfer caused by objects with different electrostatic potentials approaching or directly contacting each other. When the static charge accumulated in the external environment of the IC (integrated circuit) chip or inside the IC chip flows into or out through the chip pins, the instantaneous ESD current will damage the thick gate oxide and metal wires of the internal devices of the chip, thereby causing device failure. With the continuous improvement of the process technology of very large-scale integrated circuits, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits have entered the ultra-deep submicron stage, the size of MOS devices has been continuously reduced, and the harm of electrostatic discharge (ESD) to integrated circuits has become more and more significant, requiring ESD protection design for integrated circuits.

[0003] The prior art uses ESD circuits to protect integrated circuits from electrostatic discharge. Figure 1 It is an RC type ESD protection circuit using gate coupling technology. By constantly adjusting the size of capacitor Cn and resistor Rn, a suitable voltage can be coupled to the gate of NMOS device Mn1 under high ESD stress, thereby reducing the turn-on voltage of NMOS and achieving electrostatic protection. For NMOS and PMOS, if the bias voltage coupled to the gate is high, it will cause more channel current and higher electric field, making the thin gate oxide layer easy to be damaged, and the robustness of its ESD protection will decrease rapidly. However, in power management chips in the power field, the voltage can reach several thousand volts or even tens of thousands of volts when static electricity is released. This ESD circuit is difficult to achieve high-voltage electrostatic protection. In addition, the ESD circuit is connected to the capacitor and resistor outside the NMOS or PMOS device. The ESD circuit occupies a large area, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and integration of the chip. Summary of the invention
