摘要:
A vertical type surge protection device for absorbing surges of either polarity has a second region forming a first pn junction with a first region, a third region forming a first minority carrier injection junction with respect to the second region, a fourth region forming a second pn junction with the first region and a fifth region forming a second minority carrier injection junction with the fourth region. When the absolute value of a surge voltage applied across the device exceeds the breakdown voltage, either the one of the first and second pn junctions that is reverse biased owing to the surge polarity breaks down or punch-through occurs between the first and third regions or between the first and fifth regions, whereafter breakover ensues as a result of positive feedback. For preventing breakover from being caused by noise having a dV/dt value not greater than a prescribed value, the short-side direction length of the third and fifth regions, in the case they are rectangular, or the diameter thereof, in the case they are circular, is determined on the basis of the prescribed dV/dt value.

In a breakover type surge protection device utilizing punch-through that comprises a second semiconductor region forming a first pn junction with a first semiconductor region, a third semiconductor region forming a second pn junction with the second semiconductor region and a fourth semiconductor region forming a third pn junction with the first semiconductor region at a place apart from the second semiconductor region, the second semiconductor region is constituted of a punch-through suppression region portion disposed to cover the corners of the third semiconductor region and a punch-through generation region portion disposed at a place where its thickness can be made uniform. Fabricating surge protection devices according to this configuration reduces variation among their breakover currents and hold currents and increases their surge absorption capacity.

A surge protection device for absorbing surges of either polarity has a second region forming a first pn junction with a first region, a third region capable of injecting first minority carriers into the second region, a fourth region forming a second pn junction with the first region and a fifth region capable of injecting second minority carriers into the fourth region. The surfaces of the fourth region and the fifth region and a first Schottky junction with respect to the first region are in mutual electrical connection with a first ohmic electrode, while the surfaces of the second region and the third region and a second Schottky junction with respect to the first region are in mutual electrical connection with a second ohmic electrode. During the initial stage when a surge voltage applied across the first and second electrodes is in a transient rising state, the dV/dt immunity is increased by majority carrier current flowing into the first region through the Schottky junction forward biased owing to the surge polarity and charging the junction capacitance of the reverse biased pn junction.

A surge absorption device includes fundamentally a first semiconductor region, a second semiconductor region forming a pn junction between itself and the first region, a third region determining the effective thickness of the second region, and a fourth region provided in contact with the first region and forming an injection junction for causing first minority carriers of a kind the same as that of minority carriers in the first region to be injected into the first region. When a depletion layer formed by application of reverse bias across the pn junction reaches the third region, a punch-through region is formed in the second region. In this state, when minority carriers are injected from the fourth region into the first region, the minority carriers are absorbed by the second region to constitute the device current.
