Abstract:
An integrated chip diode (ICD), comprising:a diode manufactured by utilizing a diffusion process to form two different typed semiconductors each having a predetermined thickness on two ends of a wafer respectively, glass insulator encapsulating side surfaces of the diode; one conductive metal layer formed on one end of one of the semiconductors; an insulation material coated on a portion of the surface of the one conductive metal layer; another conductive metal layer formed on the glass insulator by using sintering process, whereby said another conductive metal layer electrically connects other end of other one of the semiconductors to the insulation material, wherein the one and another conductive metal layers form two independent soldered conductive terminals at the same end of the diode, and each soldered conductive terminal is electrically connected to one of the different typed semiconductors; and wherein the one conductive metal layer comprises a first conductive metal layer and a third conductive metal layer, the first conductive metal layer being sintered on the one end of the one of the semiconductors with the insulation material coated on the portion of the surface thereof, and the third conductive metal layer being sintered on other portion of the surface of the first conductive metal layer so that the third conductive metal layer is capable of being electrically connected to the one of the semiconductors at one end via the first conductive metal layer to form a soldered conductive terminal.
