Abstract

The present invention relates to an IC package substrate provided with over voltage protection function and thus, a plurality of over voltage protection devices are provided on a single substrate to protect an IC chip directly. According to the present invention, there is no need to install multiple protection devices on a printed circuit board. Therefore, the costs to design circuits are reduced, the limited space is effectively utilized, and unit costs to install respective protection devices are lowered down.
