  • Patent number: 11158626
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device may include a pad, a first voltage protection unit and a second voltage protection unit. The first voltage protection unit may be connected with the pad. The first voltage protection unit may be configured to maintain a turn-off state when a test voltage having a negative level may be applied from the pad. The second voltage protection unit may be connected between the first voltage protection unit and a ground terminal. The second voltage protection unit may be turned-on when an electrostatic voltage having a positive level may be applied from the pad. The second voltage protection unit may include a plurality of gate positive p-channel metal oxide semiconductor (GPPMOS) transistors serially connected with each other.

  • Patent number: 8345395
    Abstract: The present invention describes an electrostatic discharge protection circuit that protects an internal circuit of a semiconductor device from electrostatic discharge. The electrostatic discharge protection circuit includes a first electrostatic protection unit that transfers static electricity as a driving signal and also discharges the static electricity to a first discharge line when the static electricity is generated in a pad. It also includes a second electrostatic protection unit that discharges the static electricity generated in the pad to a second discharge line in response to the driving signal transferred from the first electrostatic protection unit. Since the first electrostatic protection unit performs an electrostatic discharge operation and at the same time aids the driving of the second electrostatic protection unit, electrostatic discharge performance can be enhanced while a layout area of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8247872
    Abstract: Provided is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit including a multi-finger transistor. The multi-finger transistor includes a plurality of drains and a plurality of sources alternately arranged in parallel, and a plurality of gate electrodes arranged between the drains and the sources. The drains are electrically coupled to an input/output pad through a plurality of first finger patterns which are coupled to a plurality of first contact patterns. The sources are electrically coupled to a specific voltage line through a path which comprises a plurality of second finger patterns coupled to a plurality of second contact patterns. The number of the first contact patterns corresponding to the drains is gradually reduced as the distance to the voltage line becomes shorter.

  • Patent number: 7876541
    Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit protects a gate oxide of elements in an internal circuit against ESD. During an ESD test, if the sum of driving voltages of ESD protectors connected between a power pad and a ground pad is higher than the gate oxide breakdown voltage of elements in the internal circuit, the structure of the ESD protector is changed or another ESD protector is additionally provided so as to protect the gate oxide of the elements in the internal circuit against ESD.
