Abstract
A Schottky barrier diode is provided which has a substrate including a first-conductivity-type low concentration layer and a first-conductivity-type high concentration layer, and a guard ring region, comprising a second-conductivity-type diffusion layer having an impurity surface concentration of not greater than 5×10,/cm,, formed in the first-conductivity-type low concentration layer. The first-conductivity-type low concentration layer has a thickness large enough to prevent a depletion layer that appears in the low concentration layer upon application of the maximum reverse voltage from reaching the first-conductivity-type high concentration layer.
