Abstract
High- and low-side surface voltage sustaining regions are produced utilizing optimum surface variation lateral doping. Schottky junctions are formed by depositing metal (M) on an n-type region having the lowest potential, taking M as the anode Aor Aof the Schottky diode, and ohmic contact is formed at the portion having the highest potential, taken as the cathode Kor Kof the Schottky diode. The potentials refer to a reverse bias applied to the Schottky diode. Each voltage-sustaining region is isolated and can be divided into several sections with isolation region inserted between them. A Schottky diode is formed in each section and connected to each other in series. A lateral Schottky diode and an n-MOST can be formed within a single voltage-sustaining region. The source region and drain region are connected directly to the anode and cathode of the Schottky junction, respectively.
