Abstract
A Schottky barrier diode includes a semiconductor substrate made of gallium oxide, a drift layer made of gallium oxide and formed on the semiconductor substrate, an anode electrode brought into Schottky contact with the drift layer, a cathode electrode brought into ohmic contact with the semiconductor substrate, an insulating film covering the inner wall of a trench formed in the drift layer, and a protective film covering the anode electrode, wherein a part of the protective film is embedded in the trench. The part of the protective film is thus embedded in the trench, so that adhesion performance between the anode electrode and protective film is enhanced. This makes it possible to prevent peeling at the boundary between the anode electrode and the protective film.
