Abstract
A Schottky diode with a small footprint and a high-current carrying ability is fabricated by forming an opening that extends into an n-type semiconductor material. The opening is then lined with a metallic material such as platinum. The metallic material is then heated to form a salicide region where the metallic material touches the n-type semiconductor material.
