A transient voltage suppressor is provided, including a semiconductor substrate and a doped well of first conductivity type, an epitaxial layer of second conductivity type, first and second heavily doped regions of second conductivity type, and a third heavily doped region of first conductivity type in the doped well. The first heavily doped region is connected to a fourth heavily doped region of second conductivity type, and the fourth heavily doped region and a fifth heavily doped region of first conductivity type are disposed in the epitaxial layer. A sixth heavily doped region of second conductivity type is disposed in the epitaxial layer and connected in common with the third heavily doped region in the doped well. The fifth and second heavily doped regions are connected to I/O and ground, respectively. When applying a positive surged mode, the disclosed transient voltage suppressor is characterized by providing multiple discharging paths.
