Abstract
A thin-film ESD protection device includes a semiconductor substrate including a low-resistivity portion at least adjacent to a first principal surface thereof; an insulating layer formed on the first principal surface; first and second input/output electrodes, and a ground electrode formed on a surface of the insulating layer. Moreover, a diode element and a capacitor element are formed adjacent to the first principal surface. The diode element is connected at a first end thereof to the first input/output electrode and connected at a second end thereof to the ground electrode. The capacitor element is connected at a third end thereof to the second input/output electrode and connected at a fourth end thereof to the ground electrode. The second end of the diode element and the fourth end of the capacitor element are connected by the low-resistivity portion of the semiconductor substrate to the ground electrode.
