ディングパッドとしている。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a transistor has a reverse conductivity type on the surface of an epitaxial layer 11 on a substrate which acts as a drain (collector in the case of a bipolar transistor) like a MOS field effect transistor shown in a sectional view in FIG. A layer 20 is provided, a source aluminum electrode (emitter electrode in the case of a bipolar transistor) 15 is led out to the layer 20 of the opposite conductivity type, and it is used as a bonding pad for connecting the bonding wire 6.
【0003】なお、上記のような構成とする主な理由は
ドレイン(コレクタ)領域表面に酸化膜を介して、設け
たボンディングパッドにワイヤボンディングを行うと
(特にパワートランジスタの場合はワイヤが太いので)
酸化膜にクラックが入りがちであり、クラックが入ると
ソース−ドレイン間(エミッタ−コレクタ間)がショー
トまたは耐圧不良となるのでそれをさけるためである。The main reason for adopting the above-mentioned structure is to perform wire bonding on a bonding pad provided on the surface of the drain (collector) region through an oxide film (especially in the case of a power transistor, the wire is thick). )
This is because cracks tend to occur in the oxide film, and if cracks occur, a short circuit occurs between the source and drain (between the emitter and collector) or a withstand voltage defect, and this is avoided.
【0004】したがって、ドレイン−ソース間(コレク
タ−エミッタ間)は逆方向に電圧が引加されるとショー
ト状態となっている。Therefore, the drain-source (collector-emitter) is short-circuited when a voltage is applied in the opposite direction.
【0005】なお,図4に示すトランジスタのボンディ
ングパッドではなく、酸化膜上にボンディングパッドを
設けるものについても、MOS型電界効果トランジスタ
はやはり逆方向はショートとなっており、バイポーラト
ランジスタの場合は比較的低い耐圧のエミッタ接合の逆
耐圧を有しており、いずれも逆方向に電圧が与えられる
と電流が流れる構造となっている。Even in the case where the bonding pad is provided on the oxide film instead of the bonding pad of the transistor shown in FIG. 4, the MOS field effect transistor is also short-circuited in the opposite direction. It has a reverse breakdown voltage of the emitter junction with a relatively low breakdown voltage, and each has a structure in which a current flows when a voltage is applied in the opposite direction.

トランジスタは逆方向にはON状態となっているので、
突発的な電気的パルス、つまりサージに対して過大な電
流が流れ、ダメージを受け易いという欠点があった。By the way, since the above-mentioned conventional transistor is turned on in the opposite direction,
There is a drawback in that excessive current flows due to a sudden electric pulse, that is, a surge, and is easily damaged.

を特徴とする。According to the transistor of the present invention, a bonding region having the same conductivity type as that of a substrate having a conductivity type opposite to that of the substrate except the surface is formed on a wafer serving as a substrate, and the bonding region is selected on the surface. A source (emitter) electrode connection region having a conductivity type opposite to that of the substrate is formed, a source electrode (emitter electrode) is connected to the electrode connection region, and a bonding pad is provided on the surface of the bonding region.

可能である。According to the above structure, since the source electrode (emitter electrode) is connected to the bonding pad through the diode formed by the source (emitter) electrode connecting region and the bonding region, a current does not flow in the opposite direction and the role of protection. Since the diode is in the forward direction when the transistor is in the ON state, sufficient current can be supplied without causing a voltage drop.
