Abstract
In an embodiment, a semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device may include a semiconductor body including a first doped region of a first conductivity type and a second doped region of a second conductivity type. The semiconductor device may include a metal structure, in the semiconductor body, overlying the second doped region. The metal structure may include a first sidewall adjacent a first portion of the first doped region, a second sidewall adjacent a second portion of the first doped region, and a third sidewall adjacent the second doped region. The semiconductor device may include a Schottky contact including a junction of the third sidewall of the metal structure with the second doped region.
