Abstract
A device () for suppressing electrostatic discharge comprises first and second multilayer structures () surrounding an electrostatic discharge reactance layer (), the resistance of said electrostatic discharge reactance layer () varying in response to the occurrence of an electrostatic discharge signal. Each multilayer structure () comprises a barrier layer (), a terminal layer () and an electrode layer (). Alternatively, a conductive layer () can be used instead of a second multilayer structure (). An ESD suppression device () can be embedded in a printed circuit board () providing a way to protect board components from harmful ESD events.
