Abstract
An ESD device with a protection structure utilizing radiated heat dissipation to prevent or reduce thermal failures. The device includes a voltage switchable polymerbetween electrodesand, which is configured to provide a heat radiating surfacefor radiating heat when an ESD condition occurs. A radiation transmission materialis disposed between the heat radiating surface and the environment for radiating heatwhen an ESD event occurs. One embodiment adds a spacerfor accurately spacing electrodes. A method for fabricating the device is further illustrated.
