An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structure and a method for forming the same are provided. The structure includes a substrate having a buried layer, and a first and a second high-voltage well region on the buried layer. The first and second high-voltage well regions have opposite conductivity types and physically contact each other. The structure further includes a field region extending from the first high-voltage well region into the second high-voltage well region, a first doped region in the first high-voltage well region and physically contacting the field region, and a second doped region in the second high-voltage well region and physically contacting the field region. The first and second doped regions proceed high doping with impurity of same conductive state of the first high-voltage well region.The inventive product does not degrade by ESD pressure. |
