Abstract
A semiconductor diode has two electrodes that form a cathode and an anode. The semiconductor diode is distinguished by the fact that at least one of the electrodes is curved, and that a surface area of the other electrode amounts to at most 20% of a product of a width of the other electrode and an inner edge length of the curved electrode. An electrical circuit constructed in such a way that it contains the semiconductor diode is also disclosed. The semiconductor diode contains two electrodes which form the cathode and anode, and is distinguished by the fact that at least one of the electrodes is curved, and that the surface area of the other electrode amounts to at most 20% of the product of the width of the other electrode and the inner edge length of the curved electrode.
