電圧リミッタ回路に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a semiconductor integrated circuit, and particularly to a high voltage limiter circuit for an electrically programmable and erasable non-volatile memory IJ (BBFROM).

記憶を実現させている。(Prior art) Conventionally, in EEFROM, a high electric field is applied to a thin oxide film between the floating gate and drain of a memory cell, causing electrons to tunnel, changing the amount of charge on the floating gate, and increasing its "threshold value". “We are making non-volatile memory possible by changing the

路接続の従来例を第2図に示す。Recently, a power supply voltage of 5V is applied externally, and a booster circuit inside the chip generates a high voltage, which allows the "threshold value" of the memory cell to be constant and prevents junction breakdown and oxide film breakdown. Therefore, a limiter circuit is required to keep the boosted potential constant. A conventional example of the connection between the internal booster circuit and the limiter circuit is shown in FIG.

32), the boosted potential is input to the Polysi gate (
By setting 33) to ground potential, 5urface
This attempts to limit the boosted potential using the breakdown voltage. However, in this structure, holes are trapped in the gate oxide film (34) after breakdown and Wal
There is a drawback that the limiter potential changes due to kout. Furthermore, if the thickness of the gate oxide film varies, the limiter potential also changes, so a stable boosted potential cannot be supplied. Another method is to use a limiter circuit with a junction breakdown as shown in FIG.
There are some that use n voltage.

圧を20V程度にし。This is achieved by optimizing the concentration of the first layer by forming an n layer (42) and a p layer (8) on a p-type substrate (41) J:.
The junction breakdown voltage of the layer and the p-layer is set to about 20V.
リミッタ電位を一定にしようとするものである。This is intended to keep the limiter potential constant.

引用している。However, with this, the junction breakdown voltage is 20V as shown in Figure 5.
However, there is a drawback that it is difficult to optimize the junction breakdown voltage due to changes in the thermal process and p concentration because the amount of change in the junction breakdown voltage is large. According to this, just by changing the p- concentration from Z5×10 cm to 1.5×10 crn, the IOV also changes from 30 V to 40 V. Figure 5 shows 8. M, SZB et al. (Appl, P

タ回路を形成する。Means for Solving Problem C) A limiter circuit of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1(a). A first layer is formed on the P-type semiconductor substrate (11). Second. A third N-well layer (12° 13.14°) is formed, and a p layer (15°

18, 19, 20) and an n layer (21, 22, 23) for applying a potential to the N-well layer.
The n-layer (21, 18) in the ell (12) is used as a high voltage input terminal (24), and the first pM(To) and the second N-w

Since they are formed in the same process, they all have the same concentration. The junction breakdown voltage is determined by the p layer and the +n layer in the p layer, and each is set so that the junction breakdown voltage is about 7V. As shown in Figure 5, when the junction breakdown voltage is 7V, the thermal process changes.
イオン注入のドーズ量による変化に対して、接合耐圧の
バラツキが、第4図で20Vの接合耐圧によるバラツキ
よりも、はるかに小さく安定であることがわかる。It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the variation in the junction breakdown voltage is much smaller and more stable than the variation due to the junction breakdown voltage of 20 V with respect to changes due to the dose of ion implantation.
またN−wellの電位とn層の電位が同一であるため
に、p層中のnとN−wellがパンチスルーを行なっ

ラトランジスタを形成しても問題にならない。Further, since the potential of the N-well and the potential of the n-layer are the same, there is no problem even if the n-well in the p-layer and the n-well punch through. Furthermore, since the potentials are the same, there is no problem even if a bipolar transistor is formed.

1Vとなる。したがって昇圧電位が21Vを越えると直
流パスが入力端子(24)から接地電位(27)に流れ
るため、昇圧電位は21Vにl1w1tされる。Since the junction breakdown voltage per unit is 7V, since these are connected in series in three stages, the limiter voltage is 7VX3=2
It becomes 1V. Therefore, when the boosted potential exceeds 21V, the DC path flows from the input terminal (24) to the ground potential (27), so that the boosted potential is reduced to 21V.
