Abstract

1312678 Semi-conductor devices GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 8 July 1970 [30 July 1969] 33150/70 Heading H1K A Schottky barrier diode comprises a silicon N + type substrate 202 on which has been grown an N type epitaxial layer 206, a P + type annular region 210 formed in this epitaxial layer, and a metal rectifying electrode 218 on the surface of the epitaxial layer covering the region bounded by the annular region and extending into the annular region, the junction 208 between the epitaxial layer and the substrate over that region inside the annular region being much closer to the free surface of the epitaxial layer than elsewhere, the spacing between the junction 208 and the free surface here substantially corresponding to the minimum spacing between the junction 208 and the junction between the epitaxial layer and the substrate. The thickness of the epitaxial layer in this region may be further reduced by etching a depression in the surface over this region before provision of the rectifying electrode, Fig. 4, not shown. An ohmic electrode 204 is applied to the substrate and exposed surfaces are covered with an insulating layer 214.
