Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to an MPS diode and a manufacturing method therefor. The MPS diode includes a semiconductor body including an active area, the active area includes a drift region of a first conductivity type, and a plurality of wells of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, the plurality of wells being mutually spaced apart, each well forming a respective PN-junction with the drift region. The MPS diode further includes a metal layer assembly arranged on a surface of the semiconductor body and at least one metal layer, the metal layer assembly forming a plurality of Schottky contacts together with the drift region and a plurality of respective Ohmic contacts with the plurality of wells. A spacing between adjacently arranged wells increases in an outward direction from a center of the active area.
