Abstract: A silicon carbide power diode device has a silicon carbide substrate on which a silicon carbide epitaxial layer with an active region is provided. A Schottky metal layer is on the active region, and a first electrode layer is on the Schottky metal layer. A first ohmic contact is on the silicon carbide substrate, and a second electrode layer is on the first ohmic contact. The active region of the silicon carbide epitaxial layer has a plurality of first P-type regions, a plurality of second P-type regions, and N-type regions. The first P-type regions and the second P-type regions lacking an ohmic contact are spaced apart with dimensions of the second P-type regions being minimized and the N-type regions being maximized for given dimensions of the first P-type region. Second ohmic contacts are located between the first P-type region and the Schottky metal layer.
