Abstract
A thyristor type surge suppressor includes a P-type semiconductor substrate, an N-type first semiconductor layer provided in one surface of the semiconductor substrate, an N-type second semiconductor layer provided in the other surface of the semiconductor substrate, a P-type third semiconductor layer formed in the N-type first semiconductor layer so as to provide a plurality of first exposed regions of the N-type first semiconductor layer, a P-type fourth first semiconductor layer formed in the N-type second semiconductor layer so as to provide a plurality of second exposed regions of the N-type second semiconductor layer, a first electrode provided over the P-type third semiconductor layer and the of N-type first exposed regions, and a second electrode provided over the P-type fourth semiconductor layer and the N-type second exposed regions. In such a structure, the N-type first and second exposed regions are disposed so as to be opposed to the P-type fourth semiconductor layer and the P-type third semiconductor layer, respectively.
