Fig. 1 is the encapsulating structure of the exemplary band ESD electric capacity protection of a kind of single supply of the present invention.This encapsulating structure comprise integrated circuit 71, esd protection electric capacity 10, bleed off ESD stored charge with resistance 13, power line loop 22, line loop 21, electric power connection line 32,34,36,38,44 and ground wire connecting line 31,33,35,37,41.Electric capacity 10 is connected with power line loop 22 with resistance 13 1 ends, and the other end is connected with ground line loop 21; Power line loop 22 links together by the power line 102 of electric power connection line 32,34,36,38,44 and integrated circuit 71 inside, and ground line loop 21 links together by the power line 101 of ground wire connecting line 31,33,35,37,41 and integrated circuit 71 inside.
Wherein, esd protection electric capacity 10 is patch capacitors, and capacitance is at 0.05 μ F to 50 μ F; Bleed off ESD stored charge is Chip-Rs with resistance 13, and resistance value 10k ohm is to 1G ohm; At input end when floating, power line are in the positive voltage bias state; open or inferiorly open electric leakage and come bleed off electric capacity 10 store charges to the situation that satisfies the esd protection demand under at the metal-oxide-semiconductor that can utilize integrated circuit 74 inside, can utilize integrated circuit 71 self as bleed off ESD stored charge resistance 13.Power line loop 22 and ground line loop 21 usefulness aluminium, copper, gold or corresponding alloy are produced on the surperficial or inner of encapsulation shell 100, and its thickness is 10 μ m to 500 μ m, and width is greater than 100 μ m.
When not adopting loop structure, if bearing the ESD voltage stress, integrated circuit 71 is not damaged, then the power supply loop wire 102 of IC interior and ground wire loop wire 101 can be used as power line loop 22 and 21 uses of ground line loop.Connecting line the 31,33,35,37, the 41st between connecting line 32,34,36,38,44 between ic power loop wire and the power line loop 22 and integrated circuit ground wire loop wire and the ground line loop 21, the power service duct of integrated circuit 71, also be the impedance path that makes the ESD electric current enter loop 21,22, be used to reduce the impedance problems of too on the ESD current channel that power supply loop wire 102 and 101 impedances of ground wire loop wire because of integrated circuit 71 inside bring more greatly.
Integrated circuit is at the voltage source that has used different magnitudes of voltage or the voltage source of the identical magnitude of voltage of insulation request is arranged, when promptly needing the AC-battery power source power supply, the electric capacity method of attachment of ESD safeguard structure has common-battery source line loop (22,24) and the common loop method of attachment and the method for attachment comprehensively of line loop (21,23) altogether.Wherein altogether in the line loop method, all independently power line (22,24)/ground wire (21,23) all be connected the method for one group of (one or more) electric capacity with a certain common ground.This common ground can be selected one arbitrarily in each independent ground wire (21,23).In the line loop method of common-battery source, all independently power line (22,24)/ground wire (21,23) all be connected the method for one group of (one or more) electric capacity with a certain public power wire.This public power wire can select one arbitrarily in each independent current source line (22,24).In the method for attachment, any independent current source line (22,24) all will be connected one group of (one or more) electric capacity with any one independent ground wire (21,23) comprehensively.

In addition; when the anti-ESD of integrated circuit 71 self is very capable; the esd protection framework of AC-battery power source also can adopt the method for attachment of simplification, promptly only need one or more independent current sources of integrated circuit with independently between respectively be connected one group of electric capacity (one or more) and a resistance.
In front in the protection framework of the AC-battery power source of Lun Shuing; each independent current source of being discussed, adopt the power line loop, structures such as line loop, lead-in wire method, electric capacity, resistance in size, size, with the replacement method of internal circuit etc., all consistent with aforementioned single supply situation.
Below will be described in more detail the present invention by concrete experimental data:
The mode of inserting electric capacity when the present invention adopts a kind of the encapsulation between power line and ground wire absorbs the ESD voltage wave.Amount of charge expression formula according to capacitance stores:
Q=U * C, wherein,
Q is the amount of charge that electric capacity stores, the unit coulomb;
U is the voltage at electric capacity two ends, the unit volt;
C is an electric capacity, the unit farad.
When the capacitance that adds between power line and ground wire is enough big:
The model configuration figure Fig. 4 that absorbs the ESD voltage wave by electric capacity as can be known, the C1 stored charge ability of ESD voltage generation circuit is:
Q1=U1×C1
Be connected between power line VDD and the ground wire VSS, capacitor C 2 (practical application is electric capacity 10) the stored charge ability that is used for absorbing the ESD voltage wave is:
Q2=U2×C2
Because C2 (μ F level), can think under the limiting case that the electric charge that preceding C1 charge stored Q1 of ESD voltage release and ESD voltage release back capacitor C 2 absorb equates than the big several magnitude of C1 (hundred pF levels), that is:
Q1=Q2
Can know by HBM model (human body discharging model), under 8000V HBM ESD,
U1=8000V,C1=100pF
Q1=8000 * 100 * 1e-12=8e-7 coulomb
When the electric capacity that is connected between power line and the ground wire was 0.47 μ F, C2 was 0.47 μ F, then has:
Q2=Q1=8e-7=U2×0.47×1e-6
U2=1.7V。
Analog result as shown in Figure 5.
In addition, when the capacitor C 2 that is connected between VDD and the VSS is 4.7 μ F, can calculate U2=0.17V by formula Q1=Q2.
For bleed off capacitor C 2 charge stored, too much to prevent capacitor C 2 charge stored, the accumulation of capacitor C 2 both end voltage is too high, need be in electric capacity two ends parallel connection one resistance R 2.Institute's parallel resistance will be considered two factors, on the one hand can be with electric charge bleed off to a lower level of capacitance stores in the enough short time, and the static leakage that brings on the other hand will be in an acceptable scope.
Fig. 6 is that when parallel resistance was 1M ohm, capacitance voltage is situation over time after capacitor C 2 was born 8000V ESD voltage.After side circuit bears ESD voltage, because input 61 (Fig. 3) is in floating, internal circuit is in inferior opening greatly, between power vd D (102) and VSS (101) less leak resistance is arranged, and a kind of microcontroller circuit measured result as shown in Figure 7.
As can be seen from Figure 7, input 61 is under floating, and after the voltage on the power line 102 was greater than 1.1V, the resistance between power line 102 and the ground wire 101 was less than 1M ohm.Be that the circuit bleed off that most of electric charge can be in inferior opening from integrated circuit 71 inside falls, the voltage (U2) between power line 102 and ground wire 101 is less than 1.1V.This shows that the energy force rate result shown in Figure 6 of resistance R 2 and integrated circuit 71 1 time-out bleed off ESD electric currents will get well.
On the basis of analog result, consider actual conditions again, because the resistivity of aluminium is 2.6548 * 10
-8Ω .m, the resistivity of copper is 1.678 * 10
-8Ω .m is equivalent to the thick aluminum steel of 1 μ m, and 120 μ m are wide, and resistance was 1 ohm when 4.5mm was long, or the thick copper cash of 1 μ m, and 120 μ m are wide, and resistance was 1 ohm when 7.15mm was long.Suppose to adopt 4 layers of copper wiring to be used for VDD 102 and VSS101 line, thickness is respectively 0.5 μ m/0.5 μ m/0.5 μ m/1 μ m.Be that gross thickness is 2.5 μ m, length is 17.8mm during 1 Ohmic resistance.A VDD/VSS ring of the chip line loop resistance of a 8mm * 8mm is about 2 ohm respectively.
Adopt single capacitor, and power line 102, ground wire 101 in the presence of power supply loop 22, line loop 21 when using, as shown in figure 15, as can be seen from the figure, after electric current comes out from input PAD 61, both sides from power line flow to electric capacity 10 respectively, through flowing into output PAD 63 behind the electric capacity again from the ground wire both sides, so line loop resistance can seen the parallel resistance of two ground wire semi-rings of series connection after the parallel connection of two power line semi-rings.All-in resistance is about 1 ohm.During 8000V ESD voltage, electric current is about 5.3 amperes.Pressure drop on loop wire is 5.3V.
See that from Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 obvious voltage drop is excessive.The present invention adopts power line loop and ground line loop, and the head it off that power line 102 and power line loop 22 and ground wire 101 and ground line loop 21 linked together in many places, as shown in figure 16, consider that PAD connecting line 31,33,35,37,41 and 32,34,36,38,44 equal diameters are 50 μ m, length is 3mm, and resistivity is 2.5 * 10
-8Ω .m, power line loop 22, and 21 thickness be 100 μ m, width is 200um, girth is 40mm, resistivity is 1.678 * 10
-8Ω .m; Then the dead resistance of connecting line is connected with ground wire connecting line 33,35 in parallel by loop 21,22 after can being similar to and regarding electric power connection line 34,36 parallel connections as, resistance value is 0.038 ohm, half power line loop of two parallel connections and 0.017 ohm of dead resistance after half ground line loop of two parallel connections is connected, power line 102 then can be regarded as the parallel resistance that two power lines 1/8 encircle back two ground wires, 1/8 ring of connecting in parallel with ground wire 101, and line loop resistance is 0.25 ohm.
Thus, when 8000V ESD voltage, the voltage on the connecting line is reduced to 0.2V, and the pressure drop on the loop is 0.09V, and the pressure drop on the loop wire is 1.33V, and stagnation pressure is reduced to 1.62V.Effect significantly promotes.
From the analog result of front, the voltage at electric capacity two ends can reach 0.17V to 1.7V, and numerical value is along with electric capacity differs in size.And adopt CLAMP (cascading water pipe) structure, suppose to adopt NMOS CLAMP structure, as shown in Figure 8, when 5V, reaching 5.3A needs 1766 μ m/0.1 μ m pipes, and reaching 5.3A when 4.5V needs 3500 μ m/0.1 μ m pipes, and reaching 5.3A when 4V needs 6050 μ m/0.1 μ m pipes.Adopt diode CLAMP structure, limiting voltage is 1.1 times of vdd voltages (otherwise having the electric leakage problem), is about 2V, and is all in all, high a lot of than capacitance structure voltage (0.17V to 1.7V).
Under many power supplys situation, adopting POWER PLAN structure (diode 755,756 and 757,758 is seen Figure 14) between power supply 102 and the power supply 104 and between ground wire 101 and the ground wire 103 usually.This diode structure area area with respect to NMOS cascading water tubular construction is smaller relatively, but usually when the big ESD electric current of bleed off, the diode both end voltage also can reach more than the 2V, in the deep-submicron device, the bleed off ability of circuit is also had bigger influence.And use Figure 10, particularly Figure 11 structure, then can avoid on POWER PLAN diode, producing the problem of pressure drop.
Figure 10 is a kind of common ground wire loop structure of AC-battery power source, and VDD2 104, VDD1 102, VSS2 103 have an electric capacity to be connected with VSS1 101.Applying positive ESD voltage with the output 63 between the input between VDD1 and the VSS1 61 couples of VDD2, VSS2 is example, as shown in figure 12, the ESD electric current flow into the power line 102 of integrated circuit from diode 752, and enter power line loop 22 by connecting line 44, enter the VSS2 line by capacitor I 10, the H10 that connects between VDD1 loop 22 and the VSS2 loop 23 afterwards, and get back to integrated circuit 71 inside by connecting line 241, enter VSS2 line 103, and by diode 753 enter output PAD 63, i.e. the ground end of ESD test macro.Here, capacitor I 10 has been served as traditional NMOS cascading water tubular construction, H10 has then served as POWER PLAN diode structure, capacitor I 10, H10 have dropped to a low-down level with the voltage drop of cascading water pipe and POWER PLAN diode respectively, reduce the voltage drop on the ESD current path significantly, improved the anti-ESD ability of product.
Figure 11 is a kind of comprehensive syndeton of AC-battery power source, loop connection method difference together, this structure is that all independent current sources 102,104 all will have electric capacity to be connected with independent ground wire 101,103, has realized just can bearing with a capacitance structure purpose of cascading water tubular construction and the effect of POWER PLAN diode structure.Applying positive ESD voltage with the output 63 between the input between VDD1 and the VSS1 61 couples of VDD2, VSS2 is example, as shown in figure 13, the ESD electric current flow into the power line 102 of integrated circuit from diode 752, and enter power line loop 22 by connecting line 44, enter the VSS2 line by the electric capacity D10 between VDD1 loop 22 and the VSS2 loop 23 afterwards, get back to integrated circuit 71 inside by connecting line 241, enter VSS2 line 103, and by diode 753 enter output PAD 63, i.e. the ground end of ESD test macro.Here, electric capacity D10 has served as traditional NMOS cascading water tubular construction, the effect of two structures of POWERPLAN diode structure, and voltage drop has been dropped to a lower level, has further improved the anti-ESD ability of product.
In the SOI circuit of some critical sizes big (as 1.2 μ m technologies), metal-oxide-semiconductor can bear bigger voltage after (snapback) worn in rapid counterattack (can bear 9V as the NMOS pipe, the PMOS pipe can bear 15V), behind the ESD protection circuit of suitable processing integrated circuit 71 inside, POWER PLAN diode just can satisfy the anti-ESD demand of integrated circuit 71, the AC-battery power source simplified structure of designing thus as shown in figure 14, the ESD electric current flow into the power line 102 of integrated circuit from diode 752, and enter power line loop 22 by connecting line 44, enter the VSS1 line by the electric capacity 10 between VDD1 loop 22 and the VSS1 loop 21 afterwards, and get back to integrated circuit 71 inside by connecting line 41, enter VSS1 line 101, enter VSS2 line 103 by POWER PLAN diode 757, enter output PAD 63, i.e. the ground end of ESD test macro by diode 753 again.
Here, electric capacity D10 has served as traditional NMOS cascading water tubular construction, reduced voltage drop maximum on the traditional E SD safeguard structure current path significantly, though POWER PLAN diode drop is still than higher, but because the anti-ESD ability of integrated circuit 71 self is just more intense, so can satisfy the ESD protection requirements of circuit, reached the purpose that satisfies the ESD protection requirements with simple package structure.
