MISFETを有する半導体集積回路に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to semiconductor integrated circuits, and particularly to complementary type integrated circuits.
Related to semiconductor integrated circuits having MISFETs.

When a MISFET of the first conductivity type formed in the well of the second conductivity type is activated in the IC (denoted as IC), this impact ionization occurs and electron-hole pairs are generated. This generated electron-
One carrier of the hole pair is of the first conductivity type.
The carrier flows into the drain of the MISFET, but the other carrier is injected into the well of the second conductivity type. The amount of carrier generation is proportional to the current capacity of the first conductivity type MISFET, which is the generation source, so if the first conductivity type MISFET, which has a large current capacity, operates in the saturation region, a large number of carriers will be generated in the first conductivity type MISFET, which is the generation source. It is implanted into a well of the second conductivity type that contains a MISFET of the first conductivity type, and the contact resistance of the well and the source of the first conductivity type from the contact surface are
The potential of the second conductivity type well changes due to a potential drop or potential increase due to the well resistance up to the channel of the MISFET, and a latch-up occurs. As an example, a latch-up of a C-MIS-IC when the first conductivity type is N type and the second conductivity type is P type will be explained with reference to the drawings.

る。(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) Now, when a high level voltage is applied to the drain 4 and gate 7 of the above N-type MISFET, an N-type channel region 8 is formed due to the electric field effect, and the source 3
Electrons move from the drain 4 to the drain 4. This electron is N
Collisions with silicon atoms of the semiconductor crystal in the pinch-off region in the type channel region generate electron-hole pairs. Of these electron-hole pairs, electrons flow into the drain as drain current, and holes are injected into the P-type well 2. Since the amount of electron-hole pairs generated is proportional to the current capacity of the MISFET that is the generation source,
P-type well 2 containing MISFET with large current capacity
A large amount of holes are injected into the P-type well 2, so that the potential of the P-type well 2 rises above the ground potential due to the potential increase due to the contact resistance and well resistance within the P-type well.

抗やN型半導体基板中の内部抵抗による電圧降下
のため電源電位より下降する。 Since the source 3 of the N-type MISFET does not change from the ground potential, when the potential of the P-type well 2 exceeds the barrier voltage of the P-N diode formed by the source 3 and the P-type well 2, the above-mentioned P-N diode direction, the NPN bipolar transistor composed of the source 3, P-type well 2, and N-type semiconductor substrate 1 is turned on, and current flows from the N-type semiconductor substrate 1 to the source 3. N-type semiconductor substrate 1 is a power supply
Since it is connected to Vcc, its potential is originally the power supply potential, but when the NPN bipolar transistor is turned on, a current flows from the N-type semiconductor substrate 1 to the source 3, and as the current increases, the N-type semiconductor substrate The potential of 1 falls below the power supply potential due to a voltage drop due to the sub-contact resistance and internal resistance in the N-type semiconductor substrate.

ラツチアツプ現象が起こる。 The source 9 of the P-type MISFET is connected to the power supply Vcc, and its potential is the power supply potential. Now, as mentioned above, the potential of the N-type semiconductor substrate 1 decreases, and the P-type
The potential difference between the source 9 of the MISFET and the N-type semiconductor substrate 1 is the source 9 of the P-type MISFET and the N-type semiconductor substrate 1.
When the barrier voltage of the P-N diode, which is composed of
The transistor with the PNPN structure consisting of the source 9 of the MISFET, the N-type semiconductor substrate 1, the P-type well 2, and the source 3 of the N-type MISFET is turned on.
A latchup phenomenon occurs.
このように、P型ウエル2の電位の変化はラツ
チングアツプ現象の要因となるため、電流能力の
大きなMISFETを用いる場合、ラツチアツプ現
象が起こりやすいと言う欠点があつた。 As described above, since changes in the potential of the P-type well 2 are a cause of the latch-up phenomenon, there is a drawback that the latch-up phenomenon is likely to occur when a MISFET with a large current capacity is used.
本発明の目的は、ラツチアツプ現象を起こすこ

2b, 2c, sources 3a, 3b, 3c, and drains 4a, 4 provided in these wells, respectively.
an insulated gate field effect transistor consisting of gates 7a, 4c, and gates 7a, 7b, and 7c (indicated by A, B, and C in the figure); an insulated gate field effect transistor (not shown), and at least two (three in this embodiment) of the three insulated gate field effect transistors. The gates are connected in parallel and the source terminals S,

Since the gates are connected in parallel, one
Operates as MISFET. Conversely,
MISFET A, B, and C are one MISFET divided into three. Therefore, the current capacity of each is approximately 1/3 that of the MISFET shown in FIG.

であるからその一つについて説明する。 Now, the source terminal S is grounded, the drain terminal D,
When a high level voltage is applied to each gate terminal G, MISFETs A, B, and C are turned on.
A current I SD flows between the source and drain of each MISFET. MISFETs A, B, and C are the same, so one of them will be explained.

ISD′に等しい。 The amount F of electron-hole pairs generated by the current ISD flowing between the source 3a and drain 4a of MISFET A is the amount F of electron-hole pairs generated by the current I SD flowing between the source 3a and drain 4a of MISFET A. α(E) is the probability of impact ionization caused by collision with
Then, F=α(E)・I SD . α(E) is determined by the electric field in the depletion layer determined by the gate, drain and back gate potentials of the MISFET, so in this case,
α(E) of MISFET A and α(E) of MISFET in FIG. 2 are equal. Also, if the source-drain current of the MISFET in Figure 2 in the on state is I SD ', and the amount of electron-hole pairs generated at that time is F', then the amount of electron-hole pairs generated in the MISFET in Figure 2 is becomes F′=α(E)・I SD ′. Here, the I SD of MISFET A in Figure 1 is 1/3 of the I SD of MISFET in Figure 2, so MISFET
Compared to F', the amount F of electron-hole pairs generated at A is F' = α(E)・I′ SD = α(E)・3I SD = 3・α(E)・I SD = 3F , the amount of electron-hole pairs generated in MISFET A is 1/3 of the amount generated in the MISFET shown in FIG. Therefore, the amount of holes injected into the P-type well 2a is also 1/
It becomes 3. Furthermore, the sum of the individual contact resistances and well resistances of the P-type wells 2a, 2b, and 2c is
Due to the division, the size of each MISFET A, B, and C becomes smaller, so the MISFET in Figure 2
can be smaller than the sum of the resistances. Therefore, changes in the potential of the P-type well become extremely small. Also
Since MISFETs A, B, and C are connected in parallel, the current ΣI SD flowing between the shared terminals SD and D is the source-drain current of the MISFETs in Figure 2.
Equal to I SD ′.
