An ESD protection circuit using an N-type extended drain silicon
controlled rectifier (N-EDSCR) and a method for fabricating the same are
provided. An electro-static discharge (ESD) protection circuit includes a
substrate, a well formed in the substrate, a drift region having a
predetermined portion overlapped with the well, a plurality of first
diffusion layers respectively formed in the well and the drift region, a
plurality of second diffusion layers respectively formed in the well and
the drift region, wherein corresponding first and second diffusion layers
in the well are formed separately from each other and those in the drift
region are formed adjacent to each other, a source region formed in a
manner of surrounding a second conductive type diffusion layer inside the
well, and a gate electrode formed on the well between the source and the
drift region.
