Abstract

A low leakage Schottky diode and fabrication method thereof. The Schottky diode includes a n-type semiconductor; an anode having a circular periphery formed in a region above the n-type semiconductor; and a cathode formed in a region above the n-type semiconductor and having a pattern surrounding and set apart from the outer periphery of the anode. Because there are no edges at the anode and cathode interface, leakage current is minimized.
