Abstract

An ESD protection component of an LDMOS structure and with high maintaining voltage can be used for an on-chip IC high-voltage ESD protection circuit and mainly comprises a P substrate, a high-voltage N trap, an N trap, a P trap, a P sink doping, a P+ injection region, a first N+ injection region, a second N+ injection region, a meal anode, a metal cathode, a polysilicon gate, a thin gate oxide layer and a plurality of field oxide isolation regions. According to the ESD protection component of the LDMOS structure, under the action of an high-voltage ESD, on one hand, a parasitic SCR current discharging path is formed by the P sink doping, the N trap, the high-voltage N trap, the P trap and the first N+ injection region, idle currents of the component are increased, and ESD robustness of the component is improved; on the other hand, by means of a biasing reversal PN junction formed between the second N+ injection region and the P sink doping, maintaining voltage of the component is improved and the latch-up-resistant capacity of the component is improved.
