  • Semiconductor device with a diode, and method of manufacturing such a device
    Patent number: 6400000
    Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor device with a diode. The semiconductor body (10) comprises a stack of a first semiconductor region provided with a first connection conductor (5) and a second semiconductor region (2) connected to a second connection conductor (6), wherein a rectifying junction is present between the two semiconductor regions (1, 2) having opposite conductivity types. Such a device is—after a rotation through 90 degrees—suitable for surface mounting. However, in particular at high voltage and/or high power levels, the diode may suffer from breakdown or a high leakage current.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 5, 2000
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2002
    Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.
    Inventors: Jozeph Peter Karl Hoefsmit, Einte Holwerda, Gerrit Willem Jan Ter Horst, Nicolaus Antonius Maria Koper, Pieter Weyert Lukey, Klaastinus Hendrikus Sanders, Klaas Van Der Vlist
