Background
At present, semiconductor discharge tubes (thyristorsurgesuper) are also called: the device comprises a protective thyristor surge suppression thyristor, a thyristor surge suppressor, a surge suppression thyristor, a TSS and a solid discharge tube. The device is an overvoltage protection device, is manufactured by using the thyristor principle, is triggered to conduct and discharge by the breakdown current of a PN junction, and can flow a large surge current or pulse current. The device absorbs surge energy to protect the rear-stage circuit from being damaged by the surge. The device is widely applied to communication ports and signal ports. Strong surge capability and low residual voltage are the direction of device optimization.
The surge capacity is improved, so that the protection device can be effectively protected from being damaged when the device is interfered by worse surge. The influence of surge to the back-stage circuit can be better eliminated to low residual voltage, prevents that back-end circuit from receiving damage after the residual voltage influences. When the diffusion sheet is used for producing TSS devices in the industry at present, the structure is usually N1P1N2P2Structure (as in FIG. 1) or P2 1N2 1P2 2N2 2Structure (see fig. 2).
