Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a transient voltage suppression device comprising a single crystal semiconductor substrate doped with a first conductivity type comprising first and second opposing surfaces, a semiconductor region doped with a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type extending into the substrate from the first surface, a first electrically conductive electrode on the first side contacting the semiconductor region and a second electrically conductive electrode on the second side contacting the substrate, a first interface between the substrate and the semiconductor region forming the junction of a TVS diode and a second interface between the first electrically conductive electrode and the semiconductor region or between the substrate and the second electrically conductive electrode forming the junction of a Schottky diode.
