Abstract:
A semiconductor structure and a method of manufacturing same wherein at least three mesa semiconductor units are formed in a regularly spaced relationship on a single substrate and a heat dissipator is attached to the mesa surface of each of the units, thereby stabilizing and ensuring the mounting of the heat dissipator as well as attaining a considerably improved heat dissipation property. The structure is useful for a large heat loss semiconductor such as a microwave generating avalanche diode.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device having a Schottky barrier junction formed in the bottom of a polygonal recess on a surface of a semiconductor substrate comprises an undercut in the recess beneath an insulating mask formed on the substrate, and a metal passing through the mask and extending to the bottom of the recess for forming said junction. The undercut provides an enclosed spacing encircling the junction portion of said metal and said semiconductor, thereby improving the backward breakdown voltage characteristic therein.
