Abstract

There is provided a semiconductor device comprising a Schottky junction having a very low leakage current and a high forward voltage. The device comprises a Schottky junction realized by a semiconductor 4 and a metal 6 and a multiquantum barrier structure 5 disposed on the interface of said semiconductor 4 and said metal 6 and having an effect of reflecting incident carriers as waves in phase conditions capable of allowing mutual enhancement of the incident and reflected waves!.
