Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body having a first silicon carbide region and a second silicon carbide region which forms a pn-junction with the first silicon carbide region, a first metallization on a front side of the semiconductor body, a contact region that forms an Ohmic contact with the second silicon carbide region, and a barrier-layer between the first metallization and the contact region and that is in Ohmic connection with the first metallization and the contact region. The barrier-layer forms a Schottky-junction with the first silicon carbide region, and includes molybdenum nitride or tantalum nitride. Additional semiconductor device embodiments and corresponding methods of manufacture are described.

Claim (Index 2):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor device comprises at least two second silicon carbide regions, and wherein a distance between adjacent ones of the at least two second silicon carbide regions is at most two times an extension of at least one of the at least two second silicon carbide regions in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front side.
