Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of a protection circuit of a semiconductor integrated chip, and particularly relates to a thyristor with high hold voltage and low triggering voltage ESD (electronstatic discharge) characteristic. The thyristor comprises a substrate layer (311), a well region layer and a gate oxide layer sequentially from bottom to top, wherein the well region layer comprises an N well region (309) and a P well region (310); the N well region is adjacent to the P well region; the N well region and the P well region contact the substrate layer (311); a first N+ doping region (305) is arranged at the junction of the N well region (309) and the P well region (310); the N well region (309) is provided with a first P+ doping region (304); and the P well region (310)is provided with a second N+ doping region (306) and a second P+ doping region (307). According to the invention, through improving the original thyristor structure, the triggering voltage of the thyristor is reduced, and the hold voltage of the thyristor is improved, so that the thyristor can ideally act as an ESD clamping protection device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of protection circuits for semiconductor integrated chips, in particular to a thyristor with high sustain voltage and low trigger voltage ESD characteristics. Background technique [0002] In the manufacturing process of the integrated circuit IC chip and the final system application, there will be different degrees of electrostatic discharge (Electrostatic Discharge, ESD) events. Electrostatic discharge is an instantaneous process in which a large amount of charge is poured into the integrated circuit from the outside to the inside when an integrated circuit is floating. The whole process takes about 100ns to 200ns. In addition, when the integrated circuit is discharged, an equivalent high voltage of hundreds or even thousands of volts will be generated, which will break down the gate oxide layer of the input stage in the integrated circuit. As the size of MOS transistors in integrated circuits becomes sma...
