The invention concerns a rectifier diode with a press-fit base which has a longitudinally extending fixation zone for a semiconductor chip, the rectifier diode also having a head wire fixed to the chip, embedding for the head wire and a head-wire strain-relief device which is simple in design, ensures high strain relief and permits easy application of a passivation film to the chip. The invention calls for a collar (44) to be located round the outside edge (42) of the fixation zone (14), the collar projecting out at an angle to the longitudinal axis (50) of the fixation zone (14), preferably beyond the fixation surface (16) of the fixation zone (14).

A rectifier is fabricated from a P-N junction having a P-type semiconductor layer and an adjacent N-type semiconductor layer. A mesa structure is formed in at least one of said layers. Impurities are deposited at the top of the mesa to form a high concentration region in the surface thereof. The impurities are diffused from the top surface of the mesa toward the P-N junction, whereby the mesa geometry causes the diffusion to take on a generally concave shape as it penetrates into the mesa. The distance between the perimeter of the high concentration region and the wafer substrate is therefore greater than the distance between the central portion of said region and the wafer substrate, providing improved breakdown voltage characteristics and a lower surface field. Breakdown voltage can be measured during device fabrication and precisely controlled by additional diffusions to drive the high concentration region to the required depth.

The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a glass sealed thyristor (10) and a method for simultaneously constructing a plurality of thyristors on a common semiconductor wafer (46). The thyristor utilizes a body of semiconductor material with the cathode and base regions (20, 24) extending to one major surface (14) and the anode region (22) extending to the second major surface (16). A groove (36) is etched in the first surface of the body of semiconductor material to expose the PN junction formed at the interface of the cathode emitter and cathode emitter base regions. A second groove (40) is etched in the second major surface to expose the PN junction formed at the interface of the anode emitter region and the anode emitter base region. Ring shaped glass members (42). are fused to the body of semiconductor material to form seals providing environmental protection for the PN junctions exposed by etching the grooves in the major surfaces of the body of semiconductor material. A plurality of thyristors can be simultaneously constructed on a common semiconductor wafer.
