Claim Text:
1. A die, comprising: a first region of a first type; a first conductor that contacts the first region; a substrate having a substrate portion of the first type; wherein the substrate portion contacts the first region; an intermediate region of a second type; wherein the first type and the second type are selected from an n-type semiconductor and a p-type semiconductor; wherein the first type differs from the second type; a second region of the second type; a second conductor that contacts the second region; a third region of the second type; a third conductor that contacts the third region; a fourth region of the first type; wherein the third region contacts the fourth region and does not contact the intermediate region; a fourth conductor that contacts the intermediate region to form a first Schottky diode; wherein a doping concentration of the intermediate region is lower that a doping concentration of each one of the second region and the third region; wherein a doping concentration of the substrate portion is lower than a doping concentration of the first region; and wherein the third and fourth conductors are electrically coupled to each other.
