摘要:

提出一种90nm 1.2V CMOS工艺下只用低压器件的新型3×VDD容限的静电检测电路.该电路利用纳米工艺MOSFET的栅极泄漏特性和反馈技术来控制触发晶体管并进而开启箝位器件(可控硅整流器),同时采用多级叠加结构以承受高电压应力.在静电放电时,该电路能产生38mA的触发电流.在3×VDD电压下工作时,每个器件都处于安全电压范围,在25℃时漏电流仅为52nA.仿真结果表明,该检测电路可成功用于3×VDD容限的接口缓冲器.

Abstract:

A new low leakage 3×VDD-tolerant electrostatic discharge (ESD) detection circuit only using the low-voltage device is proposed in a 90nm 1.2V CMOS process. Gate leaky characteristics of the nanoscale MOSFET and the feedback technique are used to control the trigger MOSFET and turn on the clamp device silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR). The multi-stage stacked-transistors structure is used to sustain a high voltage stress. The proposed detection circuit can generate 38mA current to turn on the clamp device SCR under the ESD stress. Under normal 3×VDD operating conditions, all the devices are free from over-stress voltage threat. The leakage current is 52nA under the 3×VDD bias at 25℃. Simulation result shows that the circuit can be successfully used for the 3×VDD-tolerant I/O buffer.

Key words: detection circuit, electrostatic discharge, feedback, leaky characteristic, stacked transistors
