Abstract
A semiconductor device has an improved schottky barrier junction. The device includes: a substrate; an epitaxial layer covering the substrate and lightly doped with a dopant selected from a group consisting of a rare earth element and an oxide of a rare earth element; and a metal layer covering the epitaxial layer and forming said schottky barrier junction with said epitaxial layer.
