1. A protective device, comprising:
- a substrate,a metal element disposed on the substrate, the metal element extending between and being electrically connected to a first electrode and a second electrode, the metal element serving as a sacrificial structure having a melting point lower than that of the first electrode and the second electrode, at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode having a protrusion protruding toward the other one of the first electrode and the second electrode; and
a first auxiliary medium disposed above the substrate and in direct contact with the metal element, the first auxiliary medium having a melting point lower than that of the metal element, the first auxiliary medium facilitating breaking of the metal element upon melting.

Abstract
A protective device including a substrate, a conductive section and a first auxiliary medium is provided. The conductive section is supported by the substrate, wherein the conductive section comprises a metal element electrically connected between first and second electrodes. The metal element serves as a sacrificial structure having a melting point lower than that of the first and second electrodes. The first auxiliary medium is disposed between the metal element and the substrate, wherein the first auxiliary medium has a melting point lower than that of the metal element. The first auxiliary medium facilitates breaking of the metal element upon melting.
