Abstract
This invention discloses a junction barrier Schottky device supported on a substrate that has a first conductivity type. The Schottky device includes a first diffusion region of a first conductivity type for functioning as a forward barrier height reduction region. The Schottky device further includes a second diffusion region of a second conductivity type disposed immediately adjacent to the first diffusion region for functioning as a backward blocking enhancement region to reduce the backward leakage current.
