    摘要: An object of this invention is the creation of an input protection circuit for highly dense integrated circuits that has improved ESD immunity. This is accomplished by the addition of a P.sup.+ diffusion adjacent to the emitter of a field device to make the base resistance of each of the field devices approximately equal. When an ESD source is contacted to the input protection circuit, the field devices will conduct simultaneously and with equal currents, thus preventing high current densities that can cause circuit failure.

    摘要: An ESD protection circuit includes a silicon controlled rectifier coupled between a circuit pad and ground for bypassing an ESD current from the circuit pad during an ESD event. An MOS transistor, having a source shared with the silicon controlled rectifier, is coupled between the pad and ground for reducing a trigger voltage of the silicon controlled rectifier during the ESD event. The silicon controlled rectifier has a first diode serially connected to a second diode in an opposite direction, between the pad and the shared source of the MOS transistor, for functioning as a bipolar transistor. In a layout view, a first area for placement of the first and second diodes is interposed between at least two separate sets of second areas for placement of the MOS transistor.

    摘要: The invention describes a structure and a process for providing ESD semiconductor protection with reduced input capacitance. The structure consists of heavily doped P+ guard rings surrounding the I/O ESD protection device and the Vcc to Bss protection device. In addition, there is a heavily doped N+ guard ring surrounding the I/O protection device its P+ guard ring. The guard rings enhance structure diode elements providing enhanced ESD energy discharge path capability enabling the elimination of a specific conventional Vss to I/O pad ESD protection device. This reduces the capacitance seen by the I/O circuit while still providing adequate ESD protection for the active circuit devices.
