Schottky barrier diode
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a Schottky barrier diode less liable to cause dielectric breakdown due to concentration of an electric field. A Schottky barrier diode according to this disclosure includes a semiconductor substrate made of gallium oxide, a drift layer made of gallium oxide and provided on the semiconductor substrate, an anode electrode 40 brought into Schottky contact with the drift layer, a cathode electrode brought into ohmic contact with the semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer provided on the drift layer so as to surround the anode electrode in a plan view, and a semiconductor layer provided on a surface of a part of the drift layer that is positioned between the anode electrode and the insulating layer and on the insulating layer. The semiconductor layer has a conductivity type opposite to that of the drift layer.
