ABSTRACT:
A device for the protection of an electronic component against electrostatic discharges. The device is made in a semiconducting layer of a substrate. The semiconducting layer covers an insulating layer. The device is connected to a contact pin to protect the electric component in order to divert an electrostatic discharge. The device includes at least one Zener diode connected to the pin to be directly polarized.
