ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the invention is a Schottky diode22having a semiconductor substrate3, a first metal24, a barrier layer26, and second metal28. Another embodiment of the invention is a method of manufacturing a Schottky diode22that includes providing a semiconductor substrate3, forming a barrier layer26over the semiconductor substrate3, forming a first metal layer23over the semiconductor substrate3, annealing the semiconductor substrate3to form areas24of reacted first metal and areas23of un-reacted first metal, and removing selected areas23of the un-reacted first metal. The method further includes forming a second metal layer30over the semiconductor substrate3and annealing the semiconductor substrate3to form areas28of reacted second metal and areas30of un-reacted second metal.
