In the manufacture of a integrated circuit (1C), electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the main factors causing 1C damage. Electrostatic discharge usually occurs in the workplace 'for example when someone walks on a carpet with a semiconductor wafer If the relative humidity is high, about a few hundred volts of electrostatic voltage will be stored on the human body and the wafer. If the humidity is low, the electrostatic voltage may even reach several thousand volts. If a conductive object accidentally touches these wafers, a strong electrostatic discharge will be generated and the 1C on the wafer will be damaged. Electrostatic discharge is a special problem when manufacturing composite metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices. serious problem. In order to protect the wafer from electrostatic discharge, many methods have been proposed to solve the problem of electrostatic discharge. The most common traditional method is between the input / output (I / O) pad on the wafer and the internal circuit. Place an ESD protection circuit that is designed to start conducting or to withstand a crash to provide a conductive path to ground. Because the crash mechanism is designed to be non-destructive, the circuit provides a normal open path. This path will only be closed when a high voltage is present at the input or output. The terminals can be harmlessly discharged by connecting to this path. Recently, researches on a protection structure of a tip discharge electrostatic discharge are being conducted. In the above description, the tip discharge electrostatic discharge phenomenon will occur on the sharp end of the conductive object, because the electric field at the tip is very strong, although the sharply touching S? Electric surface will accumulate electricity, and the electrostatic surface accelerates the charging effect. It will be easier for the discharge to occur. When the size of the component is reduced from sub-micron to deep sub-micron, in order to be effective 3 paper sizes apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) -------------- --- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the invention (1) Increase the accumulation degree of 1C and reduce the size to cover the silicon The reduction in surface area is to be expected. Traditional electrostatic discharge protection components are usually connected between the 1/0 pad and the internal circuit, which will occupy some surface area of the wafer, so the 1C accumulation degree will be limited. For example, for a sub-micron CMOS process that occupies 15 μm × 116 μm (1,740 μm 2 silicon area), the general electrostatic discharge protection circuit element (NPN transistor) has an electrostatic discharge threshold of about 3.6-3.9KV. Theoretically the most ideal is to design an electrostatic discharge protection circuit element that does not occupy any extra area on the wafer, thereby increasing the 1C accumulation. Figure 1 shows a conventional electrostatic discharge protection circuit. Referring to Figure 1, the electrostatic discharge current input through the pad 150 will be discharged through a PMOS transistor, and will lead to a ground voltage Vss, so it can protect the internal circuit 180, because the NM0S electricity in the traditional electrostatic discharge protection circuit components The crystal 160 and the PMOS transistor 170 are located on the outside of the bonding pad, and therefore occupy more surface of the wafer. In view of this, the present invention provides an electrostatic discharge protection circuit element, which is placed under a pad of a semiconductor element and provides a manufacturing method thereof to meet the requirements of space utilization, thereby effectively increasing the accumulation degree of 1C. The electrostatic discharge protection circuit element provided by the present invention does not occupy any additional surface area of the wafer, and therefore, the accumulation degree of the integrated circuit can be improved at the same time. According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a structure of an electrostatic discharge protection circuit element and a manufacturing method thereof. First, a base is provided and a P well and an N well are formed in the base. The P well and the N well have a well-defined interface. A predetermined spanning this interface is selected in the base. 4 This paper standard is applicable to Chinese national standards.

Description of the invention (multiple) area (pad contact window), the first shallow trench isolation structure, the second shallow trench isolation structure and the third shallow trench An isolation structure is formed in this pad contact window of the base, wherein the first shallow trench isolation structure is located on the interface, the second shallow trench isolation structure is located in well P ', the third shallow trench isolation structure is located in well N, and the second shallow trench The isolation structure surrounds a first inner region and is separated from a first outer region, and the third shallow trench isolation structure surrounds a second inner region and is separated from a second outer region. An n-type doped region is formed in the first inner region of the P well and the second inner region of the N well, respectively, and a first P is formed in the first outer region of the P well and the second outer region of the N well. And a second p-type doped region is formed in the first inner region of the P-well and the second outer region of the N-well, respectively. The second P-type doped region of the P-well is formed below an n-type doped region, and is in electrical contact with the n-type doped region in the P-well, thereby forming a kina diode, and the second of the N-well The p-type doped region is formed below the n-type doped region, and is in electrical contact with the n-type doped region of the N-well, thereby forming another quina diode. The n-type doped region in the N well is electrically connected to the power source VDD, the n-type doped region in the P well and the p-type doped region in the N well are electrically connected to the pad, and the P-type doped region in the P well is Connect a ground voltage Vss. It can be understood from the above description that the present invention can use an electrostatic discharge protection circuit element including a kina diode located under a solder pad to protect an internal circuit of a semiconductor from an electrostatic discharge because the kina diode is located Below the bonding pad, the electrostatic discharge protection circuit component will not occupy the extra surface area of the wafer, so the integration degree of the integrated circuit can be improved at the same time. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, 5 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)
