摘要: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit is provided. The protection circuit includes a MOS transistor and a resistor. The MOS transistor is electrically coupled to a core circuit. The resistor is electrically coupling to a gate of the MOS transistor for creating a bias on the gate to directing an ESD current to a ground when an ESD event occurs on the core circuit. A layout of the MOS transistor is spaced apart from a layout of the core circuit by a layout of a dummy structure. The resistor is formed by utilizing a portion of the dummy structure.

摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a silicon control rectifier (SCR) region and a NPN region adjacent to the SCR region. The silicon control rectifier (SCR) region includes a first p-well region, a first n-well region surrounded by the first p-well region and a first P+ region in the first p-well region and spaced apart from the first n-well region. The NPN region includes a second p-well region, a first N+ region, a second N+ region and a second P+ region. The first N+ region is coupled to the second p-well region and an electrostatic discharge source. The second N+ region is coupled to the second p-well region and spaced apart from the first N+ region. The second P+ region is disposed in the second p-well region and equipotentially connected to the first P+ region in the first p-well region.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a diode structure and an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit including the same. The diode structure includes a P-type substrate. The diode structure further includes a plurality of wavy N-doping regions formed on the P-type substrate. Each of the wavy N-doping regions extends in a first direction and has an N-doping width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The diode structure further includes a plurality of wavy P-doping regions formed on the P-type substrate. Each of the wavy P-doping regions extends in the first direction and has a P-doping width in the second direction. The N-doping widths are essentially identical at different positions along the first direction, and the P-doping widths are essentially identical at different positions along the first direction.
