'[Previous technology] Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the main potential factors that cause the failure of electronic systems. When an object with static electricity comes in contact with a semiconductor device, the instantaneous high voltage generated can cause the insulator of the integrated circuit to collapse and be thermally damaged. With the increasing complexity of semiconductor devices, the sensitivity of components to transient high voltages has increased. Therefore, in order to improve the reliability of electronic components, electrostatic discharge protection components must be added to electronic components to avoid electrostatic discharge and cause component damage. A—In general, the protection components added to the integrated circuit by the semiconductor industry are usually located between the external contacts and the integrated circuit, providing a discharge path for electrostatic discharge to prevent internal circuits from being damaged. Please refer to Figs. 13 and 2 at the same time. Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a partial structure of a conventional power metal oxide semiconductor product with a gate-source protection diode, and Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a gate-source electrode. Top view of the circuit architecture of a power MOSFET that protects the diode. In FIG. 1, the drain metal layer 102 is located at the bottom of the silicon substrate 100-'as the epitaxial silicon layer 100 of the drain is located at the silicon substrate 100. The p-type element base region 108 and the source 110 are located in the epitaxial silicon layer 104, and the gate oxide 1231593 and the gate 114 are located above the epitaxial silicon layer 104. The borophosphosilicate glass layer 117 as an insulation layer is covered on the gate 114, and the source metal 130 is located above the borophosphosilicate glass layer 117 and is electrically connected to the P-type element base region ι 08 and the source 110. . In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the gate-source protection diode 170 is an npn dual reverse diode, which is located on the epitaxial silicon layer 104 and includes an n-type heavily doped region 170 a and 170b, and a P-type lightly doped region 170c. The N-type heavily doped region 170a is connected to the gate pad 120 by the gate metal layer 16o, and the other N-type heavily doped region 170b is connected to the source u0 through the source metal layer i3〇. The gate pad 120 and the source 110 are insulated and isolated from each other by a p-type lightly doped region 170c. Gate source protection diodes are used as electrostatic discharge protection components to reduce component damage caused by electrostatic effects. In the second figure, the gate (not shown in the figure), the gate pad 120 and the gate connection 115 are made of the same polycrystalline silicon layer. The three are connected to each other, and the gate pad 120 is borrowed. The gate metal layer 160 is connected to the external circuit. In addition, on the periphery of the gate connection line 5, field plate connection 15 is connected to the source metal layer 130, and the field plate connection 15 () and the source metal layer 130 pass through the conductive plug 14. The conductive plugs are connected to each other. The circuit structure of the conventional power metal oxide semiconductor product separates the gate connection 115 and the field plate connection 5 and includes a gate-source protection diode for gate-source insulation. Because the field plate connection 15 of the product and the gate-source protection diode 170 must occupy a part of the die, so that the grain size cannot be further reduced, a new power metal-oxide semiconductor transistor is required. The circuit structure of the product is used to redesign the circuit connecting the gate-source protection diode and the 1231593 field plate to save the space occupied by the component and reduce the size of the die. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a circuit structure of a power metal-oxide semiconductor device with a gate-source protection diode, which integrates the field plate connection and the gate-source protection diode to the gate. Wiring to save component design space and reduce die size. According to the above object of the present invention, a circuit structure of a power metal-oxide semiconductor is proposed. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the circuit structure includes a source metal layer, a gate connection of a first conductivity type surrounding the periphery of the source metal layer, a conductive plug, and a doped region of the first conductivity type. The above source metal layer is electrically connected to the source of the power metal-oxide semiconductor transistor, and the gate connection of the first conductive type is electrically connected to the gate of the power metal-oxide semiconductor transistor and It is electrically connected to the source metal layer through a conductive plug. The above two doped regions are respectively located on the gate lines on both sides of the conductive plug.

According to the present invention, the 1231593 gate connection and the field plate connection are combined, and the double reverse two poles, * μ, eight and w / ¥] poles are connected, and above. In this way, not only the original field plate connection and the protection of the diode & work can be maintained, but also the component design space can be reduced to reduce the product grain size. This third figure shows a preferred embodiment according to the present invention. Top view of the circuit architecture of a power metal-oxide-semiconductor product with a gate-source protection diode. In Figure 3, in! On the silicon substrate 200, the source metal layer 230 covers the power metal-oxide-semiconductor array at the center of the crystal grains and is electrically connected to the source of each power metal-oxide-semiconductor. The gate line 21o surrounding the source metal layer 230 is electrically connected to the gate of each power metal-oxide semiconductor and is connected to the gate pad 22o. In this way, after wiring on the gate pad 220, the gate of the power metal-oxide semiconductor transistor array is connected to the external circuit. In addition, the gate connection 21 is also connected to the source metal layer 230 through a conductive plug 240. In this embodiment, the conventional field plate connection 15 in FIG. 2 and the gate connection 115 are merged into the gate connection 230 in FIG. 3. This is because when the power metal-oxide semiconductor transistor is in the "off" state, it is more sensitive to the leakage current at the pn junction between the p-type base region and the n-type epitaxial silicon layer, and the voltage of the gate and the source are at this time. Same, all are grounded. Therefore, the field plate connection line and the gate connection line can be combined into one. This can not only prevent the power metal-oxide semiconductor transistor from generating leakage current in the "off" state, but also save space for product grains. The reduction in size is very helpful. In FIG. 3, at least two P-type lightly doped regions 250 are formed on the gate lines 21 on both sides of the plug 240. In this way, a ιιρη dual reverse diode can be formed on each side of the plug 240 to separate the gate pad 220 from the source metal Ϊ 231593 layer 230, that is, the gate and source of the power metal-oxide semiconductor transistor. Insulated for electrostatic protection. According to the above-mentioned preferred embodiment, it is known that the combination of the field plate connection and the gate connection not only maintains the function of the field plate connection, but also saves the area of the crystal * originally occupied by the field plate connection. And by forming on the two free terminals of the conductive plug, the gate-source protection diode 'can not only insulate the gate and source', but also the crystal occupied by the original gate-source protection diode Grain area. From the above, it can be known that the circuit structure of the gate-source protection diode of the present invention has the advantage of reducing the grain area occupied by the field plate connection and the gate-source protection diode, so the grain size can be reduced. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. 'Any person skilled in the art will not depart from the spirit and scope of this month'. It can be modified and retouched. Therefore, The guarantee 4 I of this H has been deemed as defined in the scope of the attached patent application.
