Abstract:
A nitride-based Schottky diode includes a nitride-based semiconductor body, a first metal layer forming the anode electrode, a cathode electrode in electrical contact with the nitride-based semiconductor body, and a termination structure including a guard ring and a dielectric field plate. In one embodiment, the cathode electrode is formed on the front side of the nitride-based semiconductor body, in an area away from the anode electrode and the termination structure. In another embodiment, the dielectric field plate includes a first dielectric layer and a recessed second dielectric layer. In another embodiment, the dielectric field plate and the nitride-based epitaxial layer are formed with a slant profile at a side facing the Schottky junction of the Schottky diode. In another embodiment, the dielectric field plate is formed on a top surface of the nitride-based epitaxial layer and recessed from an end of the nitride-based epitaxial layer near the Schottky junction.

Claim (Index 17):
The Schottky diode of  claim 16 , wherein the nitride-based epitaxial layer forming the guard ring comprises a gallium nitride layer of the second conductivity type and the dielectric field plate comprises a silicon nitride layer.
