Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ESD protection device, and more particularly, to a technique for preventing a ceramic multilayer substrate from being broken or deformed due to a crack or the like in an ESD protection device in which discharge electrodes are opposed to each other in a cavity of the ceramic multilayer substrate.
- ESD Electro-Static Discharge
- a charged conductive object such as a human body
- another conductive object such as an electronic device
- ESD causes problems such as damage and malfunction of electronic devices. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to prevent an excessive voltage generated during discharge from being applied to the circuit of the electronic device.
- An ESD protection device is used for such an application, and is also called a surge absorbing element or a surge absorber.
- the ESD protection device is disposed, for example, between the signal line of the circuit and the ground (ground). Since the ESD protection device has a structure in which a pair of discharge electrodes are spaced apart from each other, the ESD protection device has a high resistance in a normal use state, and a signal does not flow to the ground side. On the other hand, when an excessive voltage is applied, for example, when static electricity is applied from an antenna such as a mobile phone, a discharge occurs between the discharge electrodes of the ESD protection device, and the static electricity can be guided to the ground side. Thereby, a voltage due to static electricity is not applied to a circuit subsequent to the ESD device, and the circuit can be protected.
- the ESD protection device shown in the exploded perspective view of FIG. 5 and the cross-sectional view of FIG. 6 is a discharge electrode in which a cavity 5 is formed in a ceramic multilayer substrate 7 on which an insulating ceramic sheet 2 is laminated and is electrically connected to an external electrode 1.
- 6 is disposed oppositely in the cavity 5, and the discharge gas is confined in the cavity 5.
- a voltage causing dielectric breakdown is applied between the discharge electrodes 6, a discharge occurs between the discharge electrodes 6 in the cavity 5, and an excessive voltage is guided to the ground by the discharge, thereby protecting the subsequent circuit.
- the ESD responsiveness is likely to fluctuate due to the variation in the interval between the discharge electrodes.
- region which a discharge electrode opposes it is difficult to implement
- the present invention intends to provide an ESD protection device that can easily adjust and stabilize the ESD characteristics.
- the present invention provides an ESD protection device configured as follows.
- the ESD protection device includes (a) a ceramic multilayer substrate, (b) at least a pair of discharge electrodes formed on the ceramic multilayer substrate and facing each other with a space therebetween, and (c) formed on the surface of the ceramic multilayer substrate. And an external electrode connected to the discharge electrode.
- the ESD protection device includes an auxiliary electrode in which a metal material and a semiconductor material are dispersed in a region connecting the pair of discharge electrodes.
- the discharge start voltage can be set to a desired value by adjusting the amount and type of the metal material and semiconductor material or resistance material included in the auxiliary electrode. Thereby, the discharge start voltage can be set with higher accuracy than the case where the discharge start voltage is adjusted only by changing the interval between the discharge electrodes.
- the semiconductor material is silicon carbide (SiC).
- the semiconductor material is silicon

- the content ratio of the metal material in the auxiliary electrode is 50 vol% or less, it is possible to prevent a short circuit from occurring between the discharge electrodes.
- the ceramic multilayer substrate has a cavity therein, and the discharge electrode is formed along the inner surface of the cavity.
- the discharge generated between the discharge electrodes when a voltage of a predetermined level or larger is applied between the external electrodes is a creeping discharge generated mainly along the interface between the cavity and the ceramic multilayer substrate. Since the auxiliary electrode is formed along this creepage surface, that is, along the inner surface of the cavity, electrons can easily move, a discharge phenomenon can be generated more efficiently, and the ESD response can be enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the variation in the ESD response due to the variation in the interval between the discharge electrodes. Therefore, adjustment and stabilization of the ESD characteristics are facilitated.
- the ceramic multilayer substrate is formed by alternately laminating first ceramic layers that are not substantially sintered and second ceramic layers that are completely sintered.
- the ceramic multilayer substrate is a so-called non-shrinkable substrate in which shrinkage in the plane direction of the second ceramic layer is suppressed by the first ceramic layer during firing. Since non-shrinkable substrates cause little warpage or dimensional variation in the surface direction, using non-shrinkable substrates for ceramic multilayer substrates can accurately form the spacing between opposing discharge electrodes, and characteristics such as discharge start voltage Variations can be reduced.
