Abstract: A structure including at least two neighboring components, capable of operating at high frequencies, formed in a thin silicon substrate extending on a silicon support and separated therefrom by an insulating layer, the components being laterally separated by insulating regions. The silicon support has, at least in the vicinity of its portion in contact with the insulating layer, a resistivity greater than or equal to 1,000 ohms.cm.

Abstract: A vertical Schottky diode including an N-type silicon carbide layer of low doping level formed by epitaxy on a silicon carbide substrate of high doping level. The periphery of the active area of the diode is coated with a P-type epitaxial silicon carbide layer. A trench crosses the P-type epitaxial layer and penetrates into at least a portion of the height of the N-type epitaxial layer beyond the periphery of the active area. The doping level of the P-type epitaxial layer is chosen so that, for the maximum voltage that the diode is likely to be subjected to, the equipotential surfaces corresponding to approximately ¼ to ¾ of the maximum voltage extend up to the trench.
