Abstract
Vertical diodes are disclosed herein for radiation-environment applications. The diodes can be junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes. A disclosed vertical diode includes a first region with a first conductivity type, fingers with a second conductivity type and located in a top portion of the first region, at least one tap region with the first conductivity type formed in the fingers, and a metal layer located over and in contact with the first region and the fingers and forming a Schottky barrier with the first region. Another disclosed vertical diode includes a first region with a first conductivity type, fingers with a second conductivity type located in a top portion of the first region and having a well doping concentration, and a metal layer located over the first region and the fingers and forming a Schottky barrier with the first region.
