Claim 11:
12. The device of claim 11, further comprises:
at least one first doped region having a second conductivity opposite to the first conductivity, the at least one first doped region in the drift layer and at the first surface of the drift layer, the at least one first doped region and the drift layer form at least one respective junction-barrier (JB) diode;
a first electrical terminal in ohmic contact with a second surface of the at least one first doped region, the first electrical terminal including a third surface coplanar with the first surface of the drift layer, and the first electrical terminal in direct electrical contact with the first surface of the drift layer alongside the at least one first doped region so as to form a Schottky diode; and
a second electrical terminal in ohmic contact with a rear side of the substrate, opposite to the drift layer,
wherein the JB diode and the Schottky diode are adjacent to each one another at the first electrical terminal in the second direction.
