Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more specifically to an ESD device with an LDMOSFET structure, its manufacturing method, and a chip. Background Technology
[0002] ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) refers to the charge transfer caused by objects with different electrostatic potentials approaching or coming into direct contact. When static charge accumulated in the external environment or inside an IC (integrated circuit) chip flows into or out through the chip's pins, the instantaneous ESD current can damage the thick gate oxide and metal lines of the internal components, leading to device failure. With the continuous improvement of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) process technology, Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits have entered the ultra-deep submicron stage. The size of MOS devices is constantly shrinking, and the harm of electrostatic discharge (ESD) to integrated circuits is becoming increasingly significant, necessitating ESD protection design for integrated circuits.
[0003] Existing technologies use ESD circuits to protect integrated circuits from electrostatic discharge. Figure 1 This is an RC-type ESD protection circuit employing gate coupling technology. By continuously adjusting the values of capacitor Cn and resistor Rn, a suitable voltage can be coupled to the gate of the NMOS device Mn1 under high ESD stress, thereby reducing the turn-on voltage of the NMOS and achieving electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. For NMOS and PMOS devices, a high bias voltage coupled to the gate will cause more channel current and a higher electric field, making the thin gate oxide layer more susceptible to damage, and rapidly reducing the robustness of ESD protection. However, in power management chips in the power field, the voltage during ESD discharge can reach several thousand volts or even tens of thousands of volts, making it difficult for this type of ESD circuit to achieve high-voltage ESD protection. Furthermore, this ESD circuit connects capacitors and resistors externally to the NMOS or PMOS device, resulting in a large area occupied by the ESD circuit, which is detrimental to chip miniaturization and integration.
