Abstract

In 0.18 μ m CMOS process butting or inserted layout of substrate/well pickups of MOSFETs strictly degrades ESD robustness owing to the effective substrate resistance shorting effect. Therefore, this work studies this layout restriction issue and develops new pickup design style to improve this ESD degradation. Splitting butting / inserted well / substrate pickups along the channel width direction in multi-finger NMOS layout structures can improve the ESD performance. The measured data of the new splitting pickup improvement confirmed that the ESD threshold level increases by 2 times for butting-pickup 1.8V devices and increases by 18% for butting-pickup 3.3V devices; the ESD threshold level increases by 5 times for the inserted-pickup 3.3V devices.

In addition, in the CMOS integrated circuit process, the source terminal of the transistor uses a short-circuit contact with the substrate contact to reduce the latch-up sensitivity (References between R· s.

However, in 0.18//m CMOS process technology The source short-circuit/buterted (butting/inserted) substrate contact point layout will cause a serious drop in ESD protection. In the general 0.18//m process rule, the short-circuit/insert substrate in the MOS transistor State is strictly prohibited, but in · There is no problem in the process of 18 micron or more, so the behavior of reducing the ESD protection ability has been eliminated. (Ref. [10] Chih-Yao Huang and Tzn-Lin Yuan, "Influence of substrate Pickup on ESD NMOS Robustness", 2005 Taiwan ESD Conference, pp. 125-130, Nov. 2〇〇5_). This is because the effective substrate resistance value is greatly reduced, so that the parasitic rumors under NM〇S' cannot be activated. The effect of this weaving problem on the current manufacturing technology still needs to be solved.

As an example, the present invention disperses a short-circuit contact knife of a New Zealand into a plurality of independent block contact blocks and shorts the P+ bulk contact point to the pole diffusion region.

In the figure, there are 2 P+ block-shaped base contact points 2〇 N+ source extension ship 21 located at the farthest edge part, there are 8 The P+ bulk substrate contact point 2〇 is located at the farthest edge and counts the second row of N+ source diffusion regions 2 and has i6 bulk substrate contact points 2〇 located at the central portion 22 (four) ten source diffusion regions 21. Each of the p+ block-like substrate contact points 2() is a square appearance whose size is equal to or slightly greater than the minimum design tolerance specification. A is a minimum of about χ. The block-shaped type is connected to the edge of the protection ring 最 at the outermost portion, and may be disposed in the Ν+source diffusion region 21 as shown in the third figure, or at the outermost periphery of the Ν+source diffusion region 21 as the fourth Figure. As described above, the present invention disperses a short circuit into a plurality of independent island-shaped blocks, and the purpose thereof is to allocate more block-shaped contact points at a central portion of the base. More Wei can continue to lower its equivalent base resistance. Conversely, a smaller number of block contact points at the edge portion can increase their corresponding substrate resistance values. Thus, the corresponding 彳_equivalent base resistance at each pole bottom can be more evenly distributed to improve ESD protection.
