Abstract

A bidirectional Zener diode includes a substrate, a first conductivity type base region formed at a front surface portion of the substrate, a second conductivity type first impurity region formed at the base region, a second conductivity type second impurity region formed at the base region away from the first impurity region, an insulating layer formed on a front surface of the substrate, a first electrode film formed on the insulating layer and electrically connected to the first impurity region, and a second electrode film formed on the insulating layer and electrically connected to the second impurity region, and a first region formed on the insulating layer, the first region being sandwiched between the first electrode film and the second electrode film, and the first region including a portion having an aspect ratio of 1 or larger.
