Abstract

This invention provides an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit formed on a P-type substrate. The ESD protection circuit is disposed between a bonding pad and an internal circuit formed on the P-type substrate, and has a P-type metal-oxide semiconductor (PMOS) and an N-type metal-oxide semiconductor (NMOS). The PMOS has a first doped region formed below a P<+> guard ring of the PMOS and a well pick-up of the PMOS, and the NMOS has a second doped region formed below an N<+> guard ring of the NMOS and a pick-up of the NMOS so that an equivalent Zener diode is formed on the P-type substrate. A breakdown of the equivalent Zener diode restricts the PMOS or the NMOS from producing a snapback breakdown.

The snapback voltage, therefore, before the PM0S 110 snaps back to the collapse phenomenon, the first parasitic diode 11 4 and the first equivalent Zener diode i 3 2 are both turned on. Similarly, the sum of the forward bias voltage when the second parasitic diode 144 is turned on plus the breakdown voltage of the second equivalent Zener diode 162 will be less than the sudden breakdown voltage of NM0su〇, so when NMOS 140 Prior to the sudden collapse, the second parasitic "polar body 1 4 4" and the first equivalent Zener-polar body 16 2 would both be turned on.

Description of the invention (9)-to show 'as shown in Figure 2. In order to make the electrostatic protection mechanism of the ESD protection circuit 100 easier to understand, the following description is to replace the two equivalent Zener diodes 132 and 162 with the equivalent Zener diodes 18 0 to illustrate. When static electricity is introduced into the ESD protection circuit 100 through the bonding pad 92, it can be generally divided into the following four situations: 1. The potential of the bonding pad 92 is higher than the potential of the first voltage terminal Vdj ^; 2. The bonding pad The potential of 9 2 is lower than the potential of the first voltage terminal; 3. The potential of bonding 塾 92 is higher than the potential of the second voltage terminal; 4 • The potential of bonding 塾 92 is lower than the potential of the second voltage terminal v㈤. In the first case, the electrostatic current will flow from the bonding pad 92 through the first parasitic diode 114 to the first voltage terminal Vdd; in the second case, the electrostatic current will sequentially flow through the first voltage terminal VD, etc. After the Zener diode 180 and the second parasitic diode 144 flow to the bonding pad 92, in the third case, the electrostatic current will sequentially pass from the bonding pad 92 through the first parasitic diode 14 and so on. The Zener diode 180 flows to the second voltage terminal Vss; in the fourth case, the electrostatic current flows from the second voltage terminal Vs to the bonding pad 92 through the second parasitic diode 144. As mentioned above, the sum of the forward voltage when the first parasitic diode 114 is turned on plus the collapse voltage of the first equivalent Zener diode i 32 will be less than the sudden collapse voltage of pM0s 110. The sum of the forward bias when the second parasitic diode i 44 is turned on plus the second equivalent Zener diode i 6 2 breakdown voltage will be less than the snapback breakdown voltage of NMOS 14 0, and the Zener diode The 18 ° system is equivalent to two equivalent Zener diodes 132 and 162. Therefore, the conduction of two parasitic diodes 114 and 144 and two equivalent Zener diodes 132 and 162 can prevent pM0s.
