In addition, for high integration and high speed of L S I, scaling becomes a very effective method. As the process is scaled, the operating voltage is also scaled from the standpoint of device withstand voltage. However, compared with the device, the scaling of the power supply voltage is slower than that of the device. Therefore, it is necessary to balance the low operating voltage with the high I / 0 interface voltage. Such requirements can be realized without generating process overload, and the known technology has different power source tracking I / 0 formation technology.

Invention Description (2) In order to avoid this problem, previously, as shown in Figure 7 (a), the use of MOSFET becomes Stacking protection technology. In FIG. 7 (a), for the sake of simplicity, only an example of the N-channel MOS F E T is shown. The N-channel MOSFETs Q1 and Q2 are connected in series between the small chip 1 of the external power source Vext and the ground, and a stacked structure of the MOSFET is formed. The internal power supply Vi n t is applied to the internal power supply terminal 2 connected to the gate of Q 1. Also, a terminal 2 a connected to the gate of Q 2 is also applied with a voltage of 0 V to V i n t or the like. In this way, if a MOSFET stacked structure is used, the gate-drain voltage V GD and the gate-source voltage V GS of MOSSF can satisfy the relationship of V GD, V GS < V int, so This makes it possible to guarantee the reliability of TDDB. In addition, the drain-source voltage V GS divides V ext, so that the reliability of HCI can also be guaranteed. Regarding MOSFET Q 2, the critical threshold voltage is V th and the drain voltage is maintained at V int-V th, so reliability problems can be avoided. In recent years, as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), a semiconductor device using a different power source system having an external power source V ext and an internal power source V int has a high level of surge intrusion through the chip 1, for example. The surge withstand protection circuit is a protection circuit with a different power supply I / 0 with a stack structure of M 0 SF Ε T that connects MOSFETs Q1 and Q2 in series between the above-mentioned small piece 1 and GND. The equivalent circuit of FIG. 7 (a) and the problem points when the short-time surge voltage V is applied to the chip 1 are shown in FIG. 7 (b). The external surge voltage like this entered the chip 1 for various reasons, but, for example, in the half ___ _ _____ one ~ Fi-This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ( Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) • • Line _ Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 515080 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (3) Assembly of conductor devices or test engineering and file management system installation In the process, the charge added to the peripheral part is generated by the ESD that is discharged through the terminals of the package. The structure shown in Figs. 7 (a) and (b) is caused by the possibility that the protection circuit may be damaged when the small voltage 1 is applied to the short-term surge voltage V. Good P. As shown in Fig. 7 (a), the gate of MOSFET Q1 is connected to V int, but the power is not turned on. As shown in Fig. 7 (b), it becomes the ground potential. mt is equivalently connected to a large capacity, so when the surge voltage V is applied, the gate-drain voltage V GD of M 0 SFETQ 1 exceeds the withstand voltage of the gate oxide film, and recovers at the extremely fast speed of MOSF ET The MOSFET Q1 is destroyed before the characteristic functions to absorb the surge. Using the equivalent circuit shown in Fig. 7 (b), the destruction process of MOS F E T Q 1 when the surge voltage V is applied to the chip 1 will be specifically described. If a surge voltage V is applied to the equivalent circuit shown in FIG. 7 (b), a positive electron hole collapse occurs on the channel surface of the drain side of MOSFET Q 1, between the source and drain of Q 1 A large amount of current flows. The surge voltage V applied to the external power chip 1 is rapidly reduced by the discharge current. As a result, the protection circuit formed by the stacked structure of MOS F E T exhibits good extremely fast recovery characteristics. However, as shown by 10 surrounded by the dotted line in FIG. 7 (b), the stack structure protection circuit composed of MOSFETs Q 1 and Q 2 is applied with a high surge voltage V, so the gate of Q 1 is oxidized. The drain terminal of the film is applied with the largest gate-drain voltage V GD, and there is a gate insulation in this part ___- A- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ( (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).

On the other hand, a protection circuit test in which the drain of Q 2 is directly connected to the 1-segment M 0 SFET of chip 1 has been tested from the past, but the protection circuit of the 1-segment M 0 SF Ε Τ, Q 2 The drain voltage of Q1 only decreases the source-drain voltage part of Q1, so the maximum gate-to-drain voltage V GD applied at the drain terminal of the gate oxide film of Q2 will decrease, which can suppress the gate Destruction of oxide film. Figure 7 (c) is a comparison of the protection characteristics of the MOSFET stack structure protection circuit composed of Q1 and Q2 with the ultra-fast recovery characteristics of the one-stage MOS F ET protection circuit composed of Q2 only. In Fig. 7 (c), the maximum recovery voltage of the stacked structure indicated by the thick dotted line is V SB, and the drain voltage of the on-state is V DB. The speedy recovery curve of the migration field from V SB to V DB is two segments, usually caused by a phenomenon known as secondary destruction. On the other hand, the one-step MOSF ET fast recovery voltage V SB ′ and the on-state drain voltage V DB ′ shown by the thin solid line are both higher than the stacked structure M shown by the thick dotted line. The fast recovery voltage V SB of SF E T and the drain voltage V DB of the ON state are low.

Invention Description (11) Ends at The drain terminal of MOSF E τ causes irrecoverable damage to the gate insulating film. For example, if the MOSFEET Q2 is a normal cut-off type, the normal operation of the semiconductor integrated circuit can make the protection circuit into the 0FF state. Therefore, the stacking structure protection circuit of the MOSF ET can not be affected. The "normal operation" can provide a protection circuit representing the extremely fast recovery voltage VS Β of the reliability guarantee of the semiconductor device. Next, the operation of the stacked M 0 S transistor protection circuit will be described in more detail using FIG. 3 (c). The line “c” of FIG. 3 (c) represents the surge absorption waveform of the node B in FIG. 3 (a), FIG. 3 (b), and FIG. The thick dotted lines in FIG. 3 (c) indicate the surge absorption shapes of the nodes A and 3 (a) and FIG. 3 (b). As shown in Figure 3 (c), the difference between the extremely fast recovery voltage VS B of node B and the extremely fast recovery voltage V SBA of node A, and the voltage V of node B V DBB and the voltage of node A when Q1 and Q2 are ON. The difference between the voltages V DBA is equivalent to the terminal voltage V AB of the clamp circuit 4 in FIG. 3 (a), or the clamp voltage nVF of the clamp diode Di connected in series in FIG. 3 (b). In this way, even if a high surge voltage V SBB is applied to the chip 1, the voltage of the node A will be clamped from the voltage of the node B to a voltage shifted to the level of V AB or η VF. Therefore, the gate of Q 1 is oxidized. The destruction of the film is prevented. Next, a stacked MOS transistor protection circuit according to the second embodiment will be described using FIG. 2 (a). The protection circuit of the second embodiment is a circuit that can function as an input / output buffer of an I / 0 chip connected to a semiconductor device, and also has a protective semiconductor device. ______________ This paper Standards apply to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

In this way, if the switching circuit 5 that is in operation is connected, when a surge voltage is applied, the gate-drain voltage V GB of MOSFETQ 1 (equivalent to V ΑΒ) will not exceed the gate that makes the drain terminal The insulating film generates an irrecoverable and destroyed voltage β V GDm. During normal operation, the switching circuit 5 is cut off from the drain (node B) of MOSFET Q1, and the gate (node A) is supplied with the bias voltage VG during normal operation.

Description of the invention (M) Power terminals, and i (i = l ~ η, η is a natural number) are connected in series by a diode D i and a resistor R. The I / 〇 chip 4 is supplied with a power supply voltage V ext from the outside. The number n of the diodes Di can be obtained from the external power supply voltage V ext and the internal power supply V int of the semiconductor device by the following formula. η > (V ext-V int) / V F (1) Here, V F is the forward voltage of the diode. 'The number of diodes η is determined in such a way as to satisfy formula (1). In the normal operation of a semiconductor device, V ext is applied to node B, and even if V int lower than V ext is applied to node A, It is possible to prevent the external power supply current from flowing to the diodes Di (i 2 to η) connected in series. Therefore, for example, if V ext-V int is about 0 · 5 V, only one diode can be connected, but if it is more than 1 V, two or more diodes must be connected. In a MOSFET with a singular or plural diode D i in a stacked protection circuit, if a surge voltage V higher than V ext is applied to the die 4, the impedance and resistance of the diode D 1 The impedance of R is very small, so the potential difference V AB between node B and node A is usually equal to η VF, which can prevent the gate oxide film on the drain terminal of MOSFETQ 1 from being damaged.

A bias voltage V G necessary for operating as an output buffer is applied to the gate of MOS F E T Q 1 and is supplied from V lnt (in this case, V G = V mt) via a resistor R.

In addition, the resistor R is used to protect the internal circuit of the semiconductor device when a large surge current V 'is applied to the external power chip 4 and flows into the internal power terminal through a polar body Di.

Since P channel MOSFE DQ 3 becomes FF state, external power current can be prevented from flowing to P-channel MOSFET Q3. In a stacked MOS transistor protection circuit with a P-channel MOSFET Q3, if a surge voltage V higher than V ext is applied to the I / 〇 chip 4 for a short time, as described in FIG. 7 (b), Since the internal power supply terminal V int is grounded via the large equivalent capacitance C, the P channel M 0 SFETQ 3 is in the ON state. At this time, the potential difference V AB between the node A and the node B is given by the following formula.
