Specific embodiment
Illustrate embodiments of the present invention below by way of specific specific example, those skilled in the art can be by this specification Other advantages and efficacy of the present invention can be easily understood for disclosed content.The present invention can also pass through in addition different specific realities The mode of applying is embodied or practiced, the various details in this specification can also based on different viewpoints and application, without departing from Various modifications or alterations are carried out under spirit of the invention.
Embodiment 1
As shown in figure 3, a kind of Schottky clamper SCR device for ESD protection, comprising: P type substrate 01, P type substrate 01 The p-well region 02 and n-well region 03 of top, and p-well region 02 and n-well region 03 are tangent, the first n+ implanted layer 21 inside p-well region 02 with First p+ implanted layer 11, the 3rd n+ implanted layer 23 and the 2nd p+ implanted layer 12 inside n-well region 03, is connected across n-well region 03 and p The 2nd n+ implanted layer 22 for reducing breakdown voltage between well region 02, the first metal aperture 31 connect with the 3rd n+ implanted layer 23 Touching, the second metal aperture 32 are in contact with the 2nd p+ implanted layer 12, and third metal aperture 33 is in contact with the first p+ implanted layer 11, and the 4th Metal aperture 34 is in contact with the first n+ implanted layer 21, and fifth metal hole 35 directly connects to forming Schottky contacts with p-well region 02, structure At p-type Schottky diode 103.
The equivalent circuit of this device is as shown in Figure 4.Wherein, first resistor 002 is p-well region 02, and second resistance 003 is n trap Area 03, PNP triode 101 are made of the 2nd p+ implanted layer 12, n-well region 03 and p-well region 02.NPN triode 102 is infused by the first n+ Enter layer 21, p-well region 02 and n-well region 03 are constituted.P-type Schottky diode 103 is to form Xiao by fifth metal hole 35 and p-well region 02 Te Ji contacts to be formed.
The device and protected port are used in parallel.
When noise pulse is when appearing in by protection I/O mouth, which can make to be binded up one's hair by the current collection of PNP triode 101 Raw snowslide, electric current can flow through first resistor 002, second resistance 003 at this time.Pressure drop can be generated in n-well region 03 and p-well region 02, when When the voltage reaches the cut-in voltage about 0.4V of p-type Schottky diode 103, Schottky diode is opened.SCR device at this time The emitter junction of NPN pipe will be clamped and positive feedback can not occur in part.Due to the clamping action of Schottky diode, positive feedback It is suppressed.The maintenance voltage Vh of device will be obviously improved at this time.To achieve the purpose that anti-latch-up.Further, since p-type Schottky diode 103 can form a potential barrier about 0.4V on 02 surface of p-well region, this makes 21 edge of the first n+ implanted layer of cathode Current density reduce.This increases resistance caused by optimization kirk effect very good.
In order to prove the working principle of the device, specific simulation result is as shown in Figure 5, it can be seen that Novel Schottky Clamper SCR structure has higher Vh and higher saturation current.The current density for comparing 21 right hand edge of the first n+ implanted layer can To find out, the current density of new device here is smaller to delay kirk effect to occur, this is the high master of saturation current Want reason.
When esd pulse is appeared in by protection VDD rail, which, also can be by power supply to ground due to identical working principle Current potential clamper more than supply voltage.At this point, work as ESD blackout, since supply voltage is less than the maintenance voltage of the structure, Therefore the structure will automatic shutoff to reach the case where avoiding latch from damaging.
