Abstract
An ESD protection device is provided which has a low electrostatic capacitance, a low short-circuiting rate and an excellent durability. Also, in the ESD protection device, the damage derived from short-circuiting or the peak voltage can be inhibited. The ESD protection device includes an insulating substrate, electrodes separately and oppositely disposed on the insulating substrate and a discharge inducing section arranged between the electrodes. The discharge inducing section consists of porous structure with microscopic voids discontinuously dispersed therein and has a hollow structure in which at least one hollow space is contained. Further, the plane where the hollow structure is formed has a dense structure.
