Abstract:
A device for protecting an integrated circuit against overvoltages, the device being formed inside and on top of a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type and including: a capacitor including a well of the second conductivity type penetrating into the substrate and trenches with insulated walls formed in the well and filled with a conductive material; and a zener diode formed by the junction between the substrate and the well.
