The present disclosure relates to an ESD protection device and a
chip. The device comprises: an N-type drift region; a first P-type doped region, which is located in the N-type drift region; a first N-type doped region, which is located in the N-type drift region; a
Schottky barrier structure, which comprises a Schottky
metal layer, wherein the Schottky
metal layer, together with a
semiconductor material that comes into contact with the bottom of the Schottky
metal layer, forms a
Schottky barrier; a P well, which is connected to the N-type drift region; a second N-type doped region, which is at least partially located in the P well; a second P-type doped region, which is at least partially located in the P well; and a gate
electrode, which is located above a region between the first N-type doped region and the second N-type doped region, wherein the first P-type doped region, the first N-type doped region and the Schottky metal layer are connected to an
anode, and the gate
electrode, the second N-type doped region and the second P-type doped region are connected to a
cathode. The present disclosure can increase the holding
voltage of the ESD protection device, thereby improving the latch-up
immunity capability of the ESD protection device.
