A monolithic protection component is formed in a P-type low-doped semiconductor substrate. The protection diode comprises, in an upper surface of the substrate, a first and a second N-type well with a mean doping level; at the surface of the first well, a first highly doped P region; at the surface of the second well, a second very highly doped N region; a third very highly doped N region laterally contacting the first well; a fourth highly-doped P region beneath a portion of the lower surface of the third region; a first metallization contacting the surface of the first and second regions which constitute the first diode terminal; and a second metallization coupled to a P-type area extending up to the fourth region and second well, which forms the second terminal of the diode. The protection component provides a unidirectional protection diode. Two of the protection components may be combined in a single structure to provide a bidirectional protection diode.
