The invention provides an ESD protection structure, compatible with the bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) processes, which provides an enhanced protection performance and better heat dissipation performance. The design of the ESD structures in present invention takes advantage of bipolar punch characteristics of the parasitic bipolar structure to bypass the ESD current, thus significantly reducing the trigger voltage and increasing the ESD protection level. In addition, the ESD protection circuit of the present invention can improve heat dissipation by avoid current crowding near the surface.
