技术领域technical field
本公开涉及半导体集成电路领域,尤其涉及一种静电保护器件以及电子装置。The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuits, in particular to an electrostatic protection device and an electronic device.
背景技术Background technique
在集成电路的各个环节中,都有可能产生电荷的累积。在一定的条件下,电荷会发生转移,瞬间通过的大电流有可能超过器件的临界值而导致芯片烧毁。统计数据表明:静电放电(Electro Static Discharge,ESD)是集成电路失效的最主要原因,特别在功率集成电路中表现得更为突出。因此静电放电问题成为设计者最需关注的问题。In all links of integrated circuits, charge accumulation may occur. Under certain conditions, the charge will be transferred, and the instantaneous large current may exceed the critical value of the device and cause the chip to burn. Statistical data show that: Electro Static Discharge (ESD) is the main reason for the failure of integrated circuits, especially in power integrated circuits. Therefore, electrostatic discharge has become the most important issue for designers.

Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail as follows, however, the present disclosure may have other embodiments besides these detailed descriptions.
随着现代半导体的制程越来越先进,沟道长度越来越短,结深(Junction Depth)越来越浅,硅化物(silicide)和轻掺杂漏极(Lightly Doped Drain,LDD)的应用,氧化层越来越薄,ESD保护设计的窗口(window)越来越小,ESD保护设计面临的挑战越来越大。为了保护集成电路免于受到静电的危害,通常要对集成电路进行常规静电保护,常规的电路图如图1所示,所用到的静电保护器件通常有二极管,MOS以及可控硅整流器(Silicon Controlled Rectifier,SCR)等。但常规的SCR触发电压高,维持电压低,易发生闩锁,不适于应用于DRAM产品的静电保护,具体地,如图2所示。并且,如图3所示,常规的SCR已偏离ESD的设计窗口。为了能将SCR应用在DRAM产品的静电保护中,必须寻找新的静电保护办法。As the manufacturing process of modern semiconductors becomes more and more advanced, the channel length becomes shorter and shorter, and the junction depth (Junction Depth) becomes shallower and shallower. The application of silicide (silicide) and lightly doped drain (Lightly Doped Drain, LDD) , the oxide layer is getting thinner and thinner, the ESD protection design window (window) is getting smaller and smaller, and the ESD protection design is facing more and more challenges. In order to protect the integrated circuit from being harmed by static electricity, it is usually necessary to carry out conventional electrostatic protection on the integrated circuit. The conventional circuit diagram is shown in Figure 1. The electrostatic protection devices used usually include diodes, MOS and silicon controlled rectifiers (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) , SCR) and so on. However, the conventional SCR has high trigger voltage, low sustain voltage, and is prone to latch-up, so it is not suitable for electrostatic protection of DRAM products, specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 . And, as shown in Figure 3, conventional SCRs have deviated from the design window for ESD. In order to apply SCR in the electrostatic protection of DRAM products, a new electrostatic protection method must be found.
