Abstract

A semiconductor structure. The semiconductor comprises a substrate, a first deep well, a diode and a transistor. The first deep well is formed in the substrate. The diode is formed in the first deep well. The transistor is formed in the first deep well. The diode is connected to a first voltage, the transistor is connected to a second voltage, and the diode and the transistor are cascaded.

Claims (21)

1. A semiconductor structure, comprising:

a substrate;

a first deep well formed in the substrate;

a diode formed in the first deep well; and

a transistor formed in the first deep well;

wherein, the diode is connected to a first voltage, the transistor is connected to a second voltage, and the diode and the transistor are cascaded,

wherein the transistor comprises:

a fifth deep well formed in the first deep well;

a sixth deep well formed in the fifth deep well;

a eighth doping well formed in the sixth deep well and connected to the diode;

a ninth doping well formed in the fifth deep well; and

a tenth doping well formed in the fifth deep well, wherein the ninth doping well and the tenth doping well are adjacent to each other and connected to the second voltage.

2. The semiconductor structure according to claim 1 , wherein the diode comprises:
