Patent ID: 6946734

Claim:
A packaged diode comprising: a substrate; an impurity region implanted in the substrate; a cathode contact region in contact with the substrate; an anode contact region in contact with the impurity region; an insulating layer over a portion of the substrate, so as to expose at least a portion of the cathode contact region and at least a portion of the anode contact region; an anode post and a cathode post on the insulating layer; a first conductive layer over the anode post, the first conductive layer extending so as to be in contact with the anode contact region; a second conductive layer over the cathode post, the second conductive layer extending so as to be in contact with the cathode contact region; wherein the first conductive layer only covers a portion of a top surface of the anode post; and wherein the second conductive layer only covers a portion of a top surface of the cathode post.
