Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to electrostatic discharge protection technology, in particular to an electrostatic discharge protection structure. Background technique [0002] With the increasing application of semiconductor chips, more and more semiconductor chips are damaged by static electricity. Generally, an electrostatic voltage of about 10V may damage semiconductor chips without electrostatic discharge (ESD, electrostatic discharge) protection. There are many designs and applications of electrostatic discharge protection structures, generally including: thin-gate N-type field effect transistors, diodes, Zener tubes, silicon controlled rectifier (SCR, Silicon Controlled Rectifier) ​​structures, and the like. However, under the unit area, the maximum voltage that different electrostatic discharge protection structures can withstand is different, and the maximum voltage that the diode formed by forming the N-type doped region in the P-type well region can ...
