Abstract

For suggesting a structure capable of achieving both a low start-up voltage and high breakdown voltage, a SiC vertical diode includes a cathode electrode, an n++ cathode layer, an n− drift layer on the n++ cathode layer, a pair of p+ regions, an n+ channel region formed between the n− drift layer and the p+ region and sandwiched between the pair of p+ regions, n++ anode regions and an anode electrode formed on the n++ anode regions and the p+ regions.
