Abstract:
A method for forming a nitride-based Schottky diode includes forming a nitride-based epitaxial layer on a front side of a nitride-based semiconductor body; forming a first dielectric layer on the nitride-based epitaxial layer; etching the first dielectric layer and the nitride-based epitaxial layer to the nitride-based semiconductor body to define an opening for an anode electrode of the nitride-based Schottky diode and to form an array of islands of the nitride-based epitaxial layer in the opening, the first dielectric layer having an end that is recessed from an end of the nitride-based epitaxial layer near the opening. In another embodiment, the first dielectric layer and the nitride-based epitaxial layer have a slant profile at a side facing the opening for the anode electrode.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n forming a second dielectric layer on the first metal layer and the first dielectric layer; and etching the second dielectric layer to expose the first metal layer, the second dielectric layer having an end that is recessed from an end of the first dielectric layer near the Schottky junction.
