Semiconductor device, and high voltage device with self-electrostatic discharge protection

Abstract

A high voltage device with self-electrostatic discharge protection. The device comprises: a semiconductor substrate; a first N-well (201), a P-well (202), and a second N-well (209) formed in the semiconductor substrate; a first N+ ion implantation region (203) and a first isolation region (207) formed in the first N-well (201); a second N+ ion implantation region (204) and a P+ ion implantation region (205) adjacent to the second N+ ion implantation region (204) that are formed in the P-well (202); a third N+ ion implantation region (208) formed in the second N-well (209); and a second isolation region (210) formed in the semiconductor substrate, the second isolation region (210) covering a portion of the second N-well (209) and a portion of the P-well (202), wherein the second N+ ion implantation region (203), the P+ ion implantation region (205), and the third N+ ion implantation region (208) constitute an NPN-type BJT, and the electrostatic discharge protection is achieved by means of the BJT.
