Abstract

Zener diode with high stability in time and low noise for integrated circuits and provided in an epitaxial pocket insulated from the rest of a type N epitaxial layer grown on a substrate of type P semiconductor material. In said pocket are included a type N+ cathode region and a type P anode region enclosing it. The cathode region has a peripheral part surrounding a central part extending in the anode region less deeply than the peripheral part.
