  • Patent number: 11626522
    Abstract: A Schottky barrier diode includes a semiconductor substrate made of gallium oxide, a drift layer made of gallium oxide and provided on the semiconductor substrate, an anode electrode brought into Schottky contact with the drift layer, and a cathode electrode brought into ohmic contact with the semiconductor substrate. The drift layer has a plurality of trenches formed in a position overlapping the anode electrode in a plan view. Among the plurality of trenches, a trench positioned at the end portion has a selectively increased width. Thus, the curvature radius of the bottom portion of the trench is increased, or an edge part constituted by the bottom portion as viewed in a cross section is divided into two parts. As a result, an electric field to be applied to the bottom portion of the trench positioned at the end portion is mitigated, making dielectric breakdown less likely to occur.

  • Patent number: 11618108
    Abstract: Molded solder includes first metal powder and second metal powder. The first metal powder has a first solidus temperature and a first liquidus temperature and includes an alloy containing metal elements. The second metal powder has a melting temperature or a second solidus temperature and a second liquidus temperature and includes single metal element or an alloy containing metal elements. The melting temperature and the second liquidus temperature are higher than the first liquidus temperature. The molded solder is so constructed that a mixture of the first metal powder and the second metal powder are press-molded. The molded solder is so constructed that a first solidus temperature of a solder becomes higher when the molded solder becomes the solder after the first metal powder has been melted by heating the molded solder at a temperature equal to or higher than the first liquidus temperature.
