Description

Bidirectional enhanced gate-controlled silicon controlled electrostatic protection device and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrostatic protection, in particular to a bidirectional enhanced gate-controlled silicon controlled electrostatic protection device and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
With the continuous progress of electronic technology and the continuous development of scientific level, the development trend of integrated circuits still follows the law of moore's law, i.e., the size of the device enters the nanometer level, the integration level is higher, and the like. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major cause of integrated circuit chip failure, and is widely seen and closely related to people's lives. Accordingly, more and more people engaged in IC design are beginning to focus on ESD protection. According to related data, the data show that under the large environment of the integrated circuit micro-electronics field, the electronic product failure caused by the ESD phenomenon reaches more than half, and the economic loss caused by the ESD phenomenon reaches billions, and the data fully illustrate the importance and the necessity of electrostatic discharge protection. A high performance ESD protection device can improve the reliability, service life, etc. of electronic products. In the environment of a high-voltage electrode terminal pair, factors such as large current, high voltage, strong electromagnetic interference and the like cause great obstruction to ESD design, and the design of an ESD protection device needs small occupied area and strong ESD resistance capability, which is the biggest problem to be overcome by ESD designers at present.
A traditional bidirectional Silicon Controlled Rectifier (Dual Direction Silicon Controlled Rectifier) device is applied to forward and reverse symmetrical ESD protection in a high-voltage environment. When the device is in an on state, the holding voltage of the controlled silicon is lower due to the positive feedback mechanisms of the two BJTs, so that the device can bear high enough ESD pulse current stress. As a commonly used ESD protection device, the thyristor structure is regarded as an ESD protection device with the best robustness per unit area, and various improved thyristor electrostatic protection devices are widely used in various fields. However, the trigger of the thyristor depends on the avalanche breakdown voltage of the reverse biased PN junction of the trigger surface, so the trigger voltage of the structure is very high, and the problem of device latch-up is easily caused due to the low holding voltage during operation, and when the traditional thyristor is applied to a high-voltage extreme environment, the ESD resistance of the device is slightly insufficient. These three drawbacks will result in the internal core circuitry of the protected chip not being effectively protected. Therefore, in ESD design, when the thyristor structure is designed, it should be tried to increase the holding voltage of the structure and decrease the trigger voltage of the structure, and it is also necessary to ensure that the structure has a higher failure level.
The cross-sectional view and equivalent circuit of the conventional triac device structure are shown in fig. 1. Because the bidirectional triode thyristor is of a symmetrical structure, the working principle of the bidirectional triode thyristor in the forward direction and the reverse direction is the same. When the bidirectional controllable silicon works in the forward direction, when the voltage difference between the anode and the cathode does not reach the trigger voltage of the device, the bidirectional controllable silicon device is in a high-resistance state at the moment, when the voltage difference between the anode and the cathode reaches the trigger voltage of the bidirectional controllable silicon device, reverse bias PN junctions of N-Well and P-Well (close to the cathode) are subjected to avalanche breakdown, and carriers multiplied by avalanche pass through parasitic resistance R of the N-WellnA voltage drop is generated, and when the voltage drop reaches the turn-on voltage of the base-emitter junction of the parasitic PNP triode structure, the PNP will turn on, resulting in a parasitic resistance R across the P-Well (near the cathode)P2The magnitude of the current is rapidly increased, and the voltage drop generated by the current is enough to turn on the parasitic NPN2And the triode and a parasitic SCR path are gradually formed to discharge ESD current. When the bidirectional controllable silicon works reversely, when the voltage difference between the anode and the cathode does not reach the trigger voltage of the device, the bidirectional controllable silicon device is in a high-resistance state at the moment, when the voltage difference between the anode and the cathode reaches the trigger voltage of the device, reverse bias PN junctions of the N-Well and the P-Well (close to the anode) are subjected to avalanche breakdown, and carriers multiplied by avalanche flow through a parasitic resistor R of the N-WellnA voltage drop is generated, and when the voltage drop reaches the turn-on voltage of the base-emitter junction of the parasitic PNP triode structure, the PNP will turn on, thereby causing the parasitic resistance R passing through the P-Well (close to the anode)P1The magnitude of the current is rapidly increased, and the voltage drop generated by the current is reducedWill turn on the parasitic NPN1And the triode and a parasitic SCR path are gradually formed to discharge ESD current. At this time, the bidirectional thyristor device generates a negative resistance phenomenon, namely, the current is continuously increased, the voltage is reduced, and after the voltage is returned to the maintaining voltage, the whole device works in a low-resistance area. When the current is finally increased to cause the thermal failure of the bidirectional controllable silicon device, secondary breakdown occurs, and the structure of the bidirectional controllable silicon device is completely failed at the moment.

Due to the existence of the enhanced gate control structure, the device structure can reduce the on-resistance of the bidirectional controllable silicon device, the gain of a positive feedback loop of the controllable silicon is improved, and the failure current is effectively improved. Therefore, the device can bear high-strength ESD current pulse stress without generating soft failure and surface breakdown phenomena in advance, the leakage current of the device is always kept at a lower order of magnitude, and a surface ESD path generated by an electric field effect can be blocked by the field oxide isolation region.

Based on the first polysilicon gate 208 in the first P-Well region 105 and the second polysilicon gate 209 in the second P-Well region 107, an enhanced gate control structure is formed, and based on a conventional triac structure, the enhanced gate control structure is added, when high-voltage forward ESD current pulse stress comes to the anode of the device and the cathode is at ground potential, the trigger voltage of the device is determined by the reverse avalanche breakdown voltage of the first P-Well region 105 and the N-Well region, and the magnitude of the avalanche breakdown voltage is determined by the distance between the first P-Well region 105 and the N-Well region.

Due to the existence of the enhancement-type gate control structure, when the device structure is turned on in the forward direction, the second polysilicon gate 209 located at the anode generates a vertically downward electric field force to promote the movement of carriers in the second P-Well region 107, and an electron channel generated under the second polysilicon gate 209 by the electric field effect is blocked by the fifth field oxide isolation region 205, so that a surface current path is suppressed. The first polysilicon gate 208 at the cathode generates a vertical upward electric field force that promotes the movement of carriers in the first P-Well region 105. When the device structure is reversely conducted, the first polysilicon gate 208 located at the cathode generates a vertically downward electric field force to promote the movement of carriers in the first P-Well region 105, and an electron channel generated under the first polysilicon gate 208 by the electric field effect is blocked by the third field oxide isolation region 203 to suppress a surface current path. The second polysilicon gate 209 at the anode generates a vertically upward electric field force that promotes carrier movement in the second P-Well region 107. And the direction of the electric field force is always consistent with the current discharge direction, and the aims of reducing the on-resistance and improving the failure current are fulfilled on the positive feedback loop of the silicon controlled rectifier.
