Abstract:
In one embodiment, an overvoltage protection device may include a semiconductor substrate comprising an n-type body region. The overvoltage protection device may further include a first p-type region disposed in a first surface region of the semiconductor substrate, and forming a first P/N junction with the n-type body region, and a second p-type region disposed in a second surface region of the semiconductor substrate opposite the first surface, and forming a second P/N junction with the n-type body region, wherein the n-type body region, first p-type region, and second p-type region form a breakdown device having a breakdown voltage greater than 100 V when an external voltage is applied between the first surface region and second surface region.
