Description of the invention (9) (Epi-taxial layer) Epi above [also similar to a SOS structure (SOS = Silic〇n〇n Sapphire), sapphire growth layer]. The ninth circle is an integrated semiconductor circuit drawn by a cutting method and having a terminal PI0. During operation, the terminals of the integrated semiconductor circuit can guide not only the input signal IN, but also the output signal OUT. (The so-called input / output terminals). This terminal PI0 can be connected not only to the appropriate second circuit part CKT-0, but also to the appropriate first circuit part CKT-I. For this type of terminal PI0, it is only necessary to install a unique first protection circuit PADIN, which is provided between the terminal PI0 and the first circuit part CKT-I. The only first protection circuit PADIN not only has the protection function of the first protection circuit PADIN during operation, but also has the function of the second protection circuit PADOUT. Therefore, the conductor LI between the terminal PI0 and the first protection circuit PADIN Part of the second circuit part CKT-0 also has the function of another wire L01. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, a pass-gate transistor PGT is provided between the first protection circuit PADIN and the first circuit part CKT-I and has its source And the drain length (Source-Drain length). The gate of the channel gate transistor PGT is either connected to the second supply potential VCC or to the timing signal 0. If during operation, the gate is connected to the second supply potential of the semiconductor circuit (Second supply potenfial) When VCC is connected, during the operation, the paper standard of this channel is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS > A4 specification (210X297mm) -------- ^ -installed ----- -Order ----- 2 Wei (please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) A7 B7 printed by the Staff Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs V. Description of Invention (β) The Hammer Transistor PGT is conductive In other cases, that is, when the gate in operation is connected to the timing multiplier Φ, if the timing signal φ has established its active level (active power with n qua channels at one tilt) When the crystal (n-channel-transistor) is used as a pass-gate transistor (Pass-Gate transistor) PGT: the timing number Φ has a high level (high level), then the channel gate for the input signal The crystal PGT is connected. In other cases * for example ' If the input / output terminal PI0 is directly used as the output signal 0 ”terminal, the channel signal transistor PGT may be suppressed by the rib of the timing signal Φ, if the input / output terminal PI0 is directly used as the input signal 1 ( | The terminal can make the path gate transistor electrically connected. Therefore, during the pre-design, the path gate electrode transistor can also be installed in this first protection circuit PADIN with the PGT. The protection circuit is connected to each terminal PI, so that the channel gate transistor PGT can be used exclusively for guiding the input signal IN during operation. Figure 10 shows an advantageous determination of the size of the channel gate transistor PGT: , Gate 6 shows a certain distance B from the source S and drain D respectively, the distance B is at least 1.5 times the appropriate distance value of each transistor, the distance value is that the semiconductor circuit is in the protection of the road The distance outside (for example, in the circuit part cu-1, CKT-〇). In addition, as shown in Figures 4 and 9, if the ohmic value of the additional wire L01 is lower than the guide output signal The lead L0 is listed in the example The wire resistance is " 〇. 8 ohms (Ω) " and " 2. 5 歃 姆 (Ω) " -1 2-This paper scale is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (2 丨 0X297 male thin) I ------- \ .install ------ order ----- / salty (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) A7 B7 i.

In this configuration, each second protection circuit PADOUT (or each first protection circuit PADIN, as in the case of the input / output terminal PI〇 shown in Section 9) is comparable to a protection circuit without such measures It can more quickly react to a phenomenon that produces electrostatic discharge (ESD). The individual lead wires L0 for guiding the output signal OUT should therefore form an electric bladder with at least 2 ohms, and the resistance should be distributed between each terminal P0 (or PI0) and the second circuit part (CKT_0) to which it belongs Within the area. As we all know, in each integrated semiconductor circuit with a first circuit part CKT_I and a second circuit part CKT-0, each well-shaped region constitutes the same conductivity type, but, during operation, it can cause Different potentials (Specification and design rules) can be used to determine the distance between such well-shaped areas in the minimum. According to an integrated semiconductor circuit of the present invention, if the protection circuit PADIN and PADOUT are located in the well-shaped area of the field gasification transistor FOX, namely the source well (S-well) and the drain well (D-well), respectively A field gasification electric crystal FOX constitutes the distance A between each other, and the distance does not exceed the above minimum distance value, then this design is more advantageous. ”Similarly, this situation is shown in Figures 3 and 5, In this embodiment, the (lowest) distance value is $ 5 microns (#m).

Therefore, the field gasification transistor FOX constitutes a finger transistor (Finger transistor), in other words, its source S and drain D both constitute a finger Shape or comb shape, therefore, every source finger is always on the side of a drain finger, and vice versa. A structure of this type has been shown by the known German patent DE-A 39 07 523. The special feature of the structure is a curved shape (Meandershaped). In the further development of this structure, it constitutes the conventional finger-like transistors, and the fingertips are formed on its corners, in other words, the fingers of each different crystal hip The ends are cut into bevels. In addition, the design of the finger transistors may be such that all corners of the finger crystals are cut into bevels. Such bevels (or chamfering) may also constitute A type of roundness. Diffusion resistance (Diffusion resistance) Rdif is installed on the drain D and field oxide of the field control diode ZVT used as a zero-volt transistor (Zero-Volt-Transistor). Between the drain D of the crystal F0X, because -1 4-The size of this paper adopts the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2 丨 0X297mm) (please read the notes on the back before filling out this page).

Description of the invention (^) Here, the diffusion resistance is within the largest area available for its use, in other words, the predetermined resistance value and the resistance number in a certain unit cross-sectional area (s P ecificresistanctperse cti 〇na In the case of 1 ar unit), the diffusion resistance can diffuse its length and width as much as possible, so for the diffusion resistance Rdif, the largest surface area is possible. This surface area makes it easy to remove the lost power (heat) generated in the diffusion resistor Rdif during operation. In the field control diode in Figure 11 (Field contorolled diode) ZVT has the function of zero-volt-transistor (Zero-volt-transistor), its open pole G constitutes a cooker shape (cooking shaped), therefore, in Between the source S and the drain D of the zero-volt standby transistor, the area of the gate G constitutes a certain width, therefore, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can be avoided as much as possible Damage. The gate electrode G of the zero-volt transistor is preferably formed a distance value A between the source electrode S and the drain electrode D of the zero-volt transistor, and the distance value is at least 1.5 times the appropriate distance value of the transistor. The crystal distance is the distance value that the integrated semiconductor circuit has on the outside of the protection device (for example, within the circuit part CKT-I, CKT-0). Several other useful measures to avoid electrostatic discharge damage will be described later, and each measure is related to the potential busbars Pi, P2 for each supply potential VSS, VCC, or may be present in the semiconductor circuit The Bias potential of the Substrate is related to the VBB wire.

Description of invention (K) A large number of diodes Dd are installed between P2. The way of installation allows each diode to have a deterrent effect in the adjustment operation of integrated semiconductors. If an electrostatic discharge (ESD) phenomenon occurs, the potential bus bar Pllrb of the first supply potential VSS is guided during operation to the second potential bus bar P2 (the second supply potential VCC assumed to lead to the first supply potential VSS during operation (Positive potential) generates a higher positive potential. Therefore, the positive potential generated by the electrostatic discharge phenomenon leaks into the second potential busbar P2 through each diode Dd, and therefore, will not cause any damage. Therefore, in the existing situation, if the distance between each other, the maximum distance of up to 10 mm can be installed with more than one diode (as shown in the figure), and the diodes are installed with each other. Set at regular distances, it makes more sense. Figure 14 also shows a device equivalent to Figure 13, in this device, each diode can use field vaporized transistor F0X-V, each transistor The gate is connected to the second potential bus P2. Similarly, the FOX-V of each field gas transistor constitutes a maximum distance of 10 mm from each other, which is better. In addition, each transistor should also be installed within a regular distance.

Description of Invention (^) Reference symbols indicated in parentheses). The resistance of each individual rail is therefore represented by R1, R2, R3 and assumes that R3 constitutes the smallest resistance value. In this case, the most advantageous way is to make the potential bus bar with a larger rail resistance value {in this example, it includes the potential bus bars with resistance R1 and R2 Pl-1, P Bu 2 (or P2- 1, P2-2)), connected in a star-shaped manner (Star f0rB) and each guide rail of a pair of diode devices Dl, D2 connected in parallel with each other in an anti-parallel manner, so as to generate the minimum value (R3) . In Figure 17, the potential bus bar (or rail) with the smallest resistance value is P1-3 (or P2-3). In addition, it is also possible to make the majority of the first potential busbars Pl-1, P1-2 (or the majority of the second potential busbars on the semiconductor crystal H of the integrated semiconductor circuit respectively constitute their own potential terminals P-VSS ( Or P-VCC). In this case, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, it is better that the above-mentioned diode device Dl, D2 is not connected to the potential busbars P1, P1-2 and possibly P1. -3 (or P2-1, P2-2, and possibly P2-3) are connected (refer to Figures 15 to 17), but are connected to different potential terminals P-VSS (or P-VCC) Therefore, Fig. 19 shows a situation equivalent to Fig. 17, in other words, a star connection (S tar C ο nnecti ο η) of the potential terminal P-VSS (or P-VCC). 20 and 21 The figures are the effective electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection measures of integrated semiconductor circuits.

In each of the above-mentioned cases, one of the electrical wires can be introduced into the integrated semiconductor circuit from one of the chip terminals P-VBB on the surface of the housing, or, at all, the terminal is used as Pins, but the prevention of electrostatic discharge (ESD phenomenon) of this terminal is more important, mainly because the static electricity can be Electrical phenomenon acts terminal P-VBB, thus, also acts on the integrated circuit.
