  • Integrated low leakage schottky diode
    Patent number: 7745845
    Abstract: An integrated low leakage Schottky diode has a Schottky barrier junction proximate one side of an MOS gate with one end of a drift region on an opposite side of the gate. Below the Schottky metal and the gate oxide is a RESURF structure of an N? layer over a P? layer which also forms the drift region that ends at the diode's cathode in one embodiment of the present invention. The N? and P? layers have an upward concave shape under the gate. The gate electrode and the Schottky metal are connected to the diode's anode. A P? layer lies between the RESURF structure and an NISO region which has an electrical connection to the anode. A P+ layer under the Schottky metal is in contact with the P? layer through a P well.
