Abstract

A semiconductor device of ESD protection includes a first P-type well in a substrate to receive a protected terminal and a first N-type well abutting the first P-type well in the substrate. A second P-type well abutting the first N-type well is in the substrate. A second N-type well abutting the second P-type well is in the substrate. A detective circuit device is formed on a surface of the substrate, having an input terminal to receive the protected terminal and an output terminal to provide a trigger voltage to the first N-type well. A first route structure is in the substrate, on a sidewall and a bottom of the first P-type well to connect to a bottom of the first N-type well. A second route structure is in the substrate, on sidewall and bottom of the second N-type well, to connect to a bottom of the second P-type well.
