Abstract: A Schottky diode of SiC has a substrate layer, a drift layer and emitter layer regions formed in the drift layer. A metal layer makes an ohmic contact to the emitter layer regions and Schottky contact to the drift layer. A depletion of the drift layer region between two adjacent emitter layer regions is allowed in the blocking state of the diode making the two adjacent p-type emitter layer regions form a continuous depleted region therebetween in this state.
