  • Publication number: 20230128298
    Abstract: The present application discloses an electro-static discharge protection structure, which includes an N-well and a P-well formed in a substrate. Upper parts and middle parts of the N-well and the P-well are isolated by shallow trench isolation (STI), and lower parts adjoin. The upper part of the N-well to form an N-well P-type heavily doped region adjacent to the STI. The upper part of the N-well to form an N-well N-type heavily doped region far away from the STI. The upper part of the P-well forms a P-well P-type heavily doped region adjacent to the STI. The N-well P-type heavily doped region and the N-well N-type heavily doped region are short-circuited to form an anode of the electro-static discharge protection structure. The P-well P-type heavily doped region is used as a cathode of the electro-static discharge protection structure. The present application can realize no snapback effect.
