    摘要: In a NPN transistor electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structure, certain parameters, including maximum lattice temperature, are improved by introducing certain process changes to provide for SCR-like characteristics during ESD events. A p+region is formed adjacent the collector to define a SCR-like emitter and with a common contact with the collector of the BJT. The p+ region is spaced from the n-emitter of the transistor by a n-epitaxial region, and the collector is preferably spaced further from the n-emitter than is the case in a regular BJT.

    摘要: In a BSCR and method of making a BSCR, a npn BJT structure is created and a p+ region is provided that is connected to the collector of the BJT, and one or more of the NBL, sinker and n+ collector of the BJT are partially blocked. In this way the NBL is formed into a comb-like NBL with a plurality of tines in one embodiment. The sinker and n+ collector may also be formed into a plurality islands. Furthermore, the period of the tines and islands may be varied to provide the desired BSCR characteristics.

    摘要: In a Bi-CMOS ESD protection device, dual voltage capabilities are achieved by providing two laterally spaced p-regions in a n-material and defining a n+ region and a p+ region in each of the p-regions to define I-V characteristics that are similar to those defined by a SCR device in a positive direction, but, in this case, having those characteristics in both directions. The device may be asymmetrical to accommodate different voltage amplitudes in the positive and negative directions.

    摘要: In a Bi-CM0S ESD protection structure, the holding voltage is increased by a desired amount by including a NBL of chosen length. The positioning of the NBL may be adjusted to adjust the I-V characteristics of the structure. Dual voltage capabilities may be achieved by providing two laterally spaced p-regions in a n-material and defining a n+ region and a p+ region in each of the p-regions to define I-V characteristics that are similar to those defined by a SCR device in a positive direction, but, in this case, having those characteristics in both directions. Over and above the NBL position being adjusted relative to the p-regions, the two p-regions may vary in doping level, and dimensions to achieve different I-V characteristics for the device in the positive and negative directions.

    摘要: In an ESD protection device using a LVTSCR-like structure, the holding voltage is increased by placing the p+ emitter outside the drain of the device, thereby retarding the injection of holes from the p+ emitter. The p+ emitter may be implemented in one or more emitter regions formed outside the drain. The drain is split between a n+ drain and a floating n+ region near the gate to avoid excessive avalanche injection and resultant local overheating.
