ABSTRACT:
Schottky barrier diodes use a dielectric separation region to bound an active region. The dielectric separation region permits the elimination of a guard ring in at least one dimension. Further, using a dielectric separation region in an active portion of the integrated circuit device may reduce or eliminate parasitic capacitance by eliminating this guard ring.
