Abstract

A vertical diode of low capacitance formed in a front surface of a semiconductor substrate, including a first area protruding from the substrate surface including at least one doped semiconductor layer of a conductivity type opposite to that of the substrate, the upper surface of the semiconductor layer supporting a first welding ball. The diode includes a second area including on the substrate a thick conductive track supporting at least two second welding balls, said first and second welding balls defining a plane parallel to the substrate plane.
