The metal segment 37 is located on the N-type well region 31 and is electrically connected to the non-polar region 32, the P+ change region 33, the N+ change region 35, and the pad 38. When a positive ESD pulse occurs, if at least one parasitic Scr is triggered, then the feedback bias of the P+ doping region 33 will inject a large number of holes into the P-type matrix via the N-type well region 31 to form a local portion. A substrate potential to sense the feedback bias of the source region of each NMOS transistor. Therefore, when ESD occurs, all gate fingers of the NMOS transistor and all parasitic SCRs will be turned on. It can be seen that the hybrid SCR-MOS structure can be completely turned on to conduct a large amount of esd transient current. The hybrid SCR-MOS structure in the figure 3 can effectively conduct a large amount of ESD current, thereby increasing the integrated circuit ESD. Protection ability. However, in practical applications, some I/O cells or other ESD protection components may cause the NMOS transistor not to enter a snapback state, causing the SCR to fail. In particular, if the gate potential of the NMOS transistor is such that the NMOS transistor can be directly turned on as the ESD voltage rises during ESD generation, for example, a conventional RC-Inverter driving NMOS, the source of the NMOS transistor is not forward biased. It is generated so that no electron current can flow through the P-type substrate to the n-type well region to trigger the parasitic SCR.

In traditional circuit applications, when esd occurs, 500 ancient 6 蛵 蛵,, 杌 杌 P, * 土 ^ f 500 pens of current = flow from and to ^ 44. In the above example, it is known that the current that triggers the SCR and enters the N-type well region 48 is about 2〇442 and is lightly connected to the N-type well region 48^ female because of the 2 mA in the milliampere current of the dipole region. From [, and: "Zone 4481", it is expected that the Tongyu brothers one / and the polar zone 442 will enter the N-scratch SCR. In addition, the other electric current will pass through the first no = 4 丄? 21 mA current system all ESD current 5 (8) f five knives 'If the NM0S electro-crystal system is directly turned on due to the gate d d high in the ESD event, the coffee current is roughly distributed according to the gate width and the uniform sentence can be designed as the first The width of the second secret zone 442 is about one-fifth of the height of the 44th, that is, the width of the second bungee zone 442 is about one-fifth of the width of all the gate fingers. The second non-polar region may be distributed on each of the bungee regions 44 or part of the bungee regions 44, as long as the width of all the second bungee regions is approximately one-fifth of the width of the entire bungee region 44. Therefore, by adjusting the ratio of the second drain region 442 to the first 汲 (the width of the polar region 441, and adjusting the resistance of the well region resistance Rnw, it can be based on actual needs The amount of current required to trigger the parasitic SCR is provided. If the NMOS transistor is suddenly turned on during the ESD event, the above estimation can be a reference for the design of the approximate ESD component because the ESD current is not uniformly distributed according to the gate width. In addition, in FIG. 4, a first channel region (not shown) is formed between the source region 46 and the first gate region 441, and a second channel region is formed between the source region 46 and the second drain region 442. (Not shown) Therefore, the width ratio of the first channel region and the second channel region can also be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of the width of the second drain region 442 to the width of the first drain region 441.

In the fourth figure, the use of the gate finger 42 twin 11 to separate the non-polar region 44 limits the number of the first gate finger 421 and the second gate finger Μ to an even number. As shown in Fig. 7, the drain region 74 is separated by the field oxide 72 into a first drain region 741 and a second drain region. The advantage of using the field effect oxide is that the number of the first gate finger 721 and the second gate finger 722 can be arbitrarily specified, which can be an even number or an odd number. The first gate finger 72 and the second gate finger 722 can be coupled to the power line VSS, the signal line, and the like, respectively. Figure 8 shows another layout diagram using field effect oxides to separate the drain regions. Although the bungee oxide zone 82 is present in the bungee zone 801 to the bungee zone 8〇5. However, the two portions of the drain region 802 to the drain region 8〇4 separated by the field oxide 82 are respectively coupled by the metal layer 85. Therefore, the drain region 802 to the drain region 804 are not separated by the field oxide 82 into the first drain region and the second drain region. Only the drain region 8〇1 and the drain region 8〇5 are separated by the field oxide 82 into the first drain region 841 and the second drain region 842. As shown in Fig. 8, the second drain region may be distributed over a portion of the drain region without being evenly distributed over the respective drain regions to avoid the range of the second drain region being too small (eg, less than the junction ( C〇ntact)) is not easy to implement on the layout. Figure 9 shows a further layout of the use of field oxides to separate the drain regions. In Fig. 9, only the surface of the drain that really needs to form the second drain region 942 (for example, the bungee region 901 and the bungee region 905) has field effect oxides, and the remaining bungee regions are completely absent.
