    Abstract: High voltage semiconductor devices with high-voltage termination structures (100, 200, 300) are constructed on lightly doped substrates (12). Lightly doped p-type substrates (12) are particularly prone to depletion and inversion from positive charges, degrading the ability of associated termination structures to block high voltages. To improve the efficiency and stability of termination structures, second termination regions (23, 223, 323) of the same dopant type as the substrate (12), more heavily doped than the substrate (12) but more lightly doped than first termination regions (22), are positioned adjoining the first termination regions (22). The second termination regions raise the field threshold voltage where the surface is vulnerable and render the termination structure (110) substantially insensitive to positive charges at the surface. The use of higher dopant concentration in the gap region without causing premature avalanche is facilitated by only creating second termination regions (323) for regions lacking field plate (10) protection.

    Abstract: A merged PN/Schottky diode is provided having a substrate of a first conductivity type and a grid of doped wells of the second conductivity type embedded in the substrate. A Schottky barrier metal layer makes a Schottky barrier contact with the surface of the substrate above the grid. Selected embedded wells in the grid may contact the Schottky barrier metal layer, while most embedded wells do not. The diode forward voltage drop is reduced for the same diode area with reverse blocking benefits similar to a conventional JBS structure.
