Embodiment
In the following description, a large amount of concrete details is given to provide more thorough understanding of the invention.But, it is obvious to the skilled person that the present invention can be implemented without the need to these details one or more.In other example, in order to avoid obscuring with the present invention, technical characteristics more well known in the art are not described.
In order to thoroughly understand the present invention, by following description, detailed step is proposed, to explain the ESD protection circuit that can realize unified unlatching of the present invention's proposition.Obviously, the specific details that the technical staff that execution of the present invention is not limited to semiconductor applications has the knack of.Preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail as follows, but except these are described in detail, the present invention can also have other execution modes.
Should be understood that, " comprise " when using term in this manual and/or " comprising " time, it indicates exists described feature, entirety, step, operation, element and/or assembly, but does not get rid of existence or additional other features one or more, entirety, step, operation, element, assembly and/or their combination.
Below, the ESD protection circuit that can realize unified unlatching of the present invention's proposition is described with reference to Fig. 2.
As shown in Figure 2, be the GGNMOS of an improvement.In P type substrate (P-substrate), be formed with nmos area, the grid G ground connection of described nmos area, source S ground connection, at the N of each source S +the middle part of diffusion region forms P +diffusion region, to form pick-up area (Pickup), described pick-up area also ground connection.The P trap (P-Well) with low-resistivity is only formed at the N of drain D +the below of diffusion region.Described GGNMOS has multiple finger, and each finger all forms parasitic bipolar junction transistor.Because the distance between each finger with described pick-up area is identical, the resistance therefore formed between each finger with described pick-up area is identical, i.e. R5=R6.When there is static discharge, each finger in GGNMOS can be made to open electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection simultaneously.
