The high-voltage assembly structure of tool electrostatic discharge protective tolerance
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of electrostatic discharge protective assembly, be particularly to a kind of electrostatic discharge protective modular construction that is applied to high potential assembly.
Background technology
In semiconductor device, static discharge (ESD:electrostatic discharge) is gone into pad (I/O pad) intrusion because of touching the static electrification body from the output of chip through being everlasting under the dry environment, causes the integrated circuit damage.
When the CMOS process technique narrows down to time micron stage, advanced process technique, for example thinner grid oxic horizon, shorter passage length, more shallow drain/source connects the face degree of depth, LDD (low doping concentration drain electrode) structure, and metal silicide (silicided) diffusion layer etc., these advanced processing procedures seriously reduce the electro-static discharge protective ability of CMOS IC on the contrary, according to present industrial standard, end (I/O pad) is gone in the output of integrated circuit in the IC assembly needs to bear above the manikin ESD stress of 2000V and the mechanical model ESD model that surpasses 200V, therefore, in order to prevent that esd discharge from causing the infringement of IC internal circuit, damage to prevent ESD to ESD protection circuit or ESD guard assembly can be set between internal circuit at the output pad usually.

No. 6258672 patent of United States Patent (USP) provides another kind of esd protection circuit; it includes at least one source electrode of reference voltage source, at least one drain electrode and at least one grid of exporting/going between pad and internal circuit that be connected to of being connected to; the width that it is characterized by the gate electrode zone is to be enlarged toward the both sides by central authorities, easily punctures the problem that causes the conducting inequality earlier by the corner but still can't solve electric charge.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, purpose of the present invention just is to provide a high electrostatic discharge (electrostaticdischarge, ESD) guard assembly structure, be not equidistant by drain region side edge to corresponding channel region side, make a plurality of discharge corners of the peripheral formation in drain region, to promote the uniformity that static discharge conducting usefulness and enhancement electrically conduct.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, the invention provides an electrostatic discharge protective modular construction, be to comprise: a substrate; One channel region is formed on both allocations of this substrate surface, and this channel region has one first side and one second side; The one source pole zone is adjacent to this first side; One drain region, be adjacent to this second side, it is a light dope well region that comprises a heavily doped region and be formed at this heavily doped region below, wherein, the width of this heavily doped region is to change along a y direction, and a side that makes this heavily doped region to this second side of this channel region is not equidistant.
By the present invention, can make the drain region side form a plurality of discharge corners by the change width of heavily doped region in the drain region, current path is disperseed, reach the effect of promoting static discharge conducting usefulness and promoting the uniformity of conducting.
