Abstract

See full text

A diode includes a substrate characterized by a first dislocation density and a first conductivity type, a first contact coupled to the substrate, and a masking layer having a predetermined thickness and coupled to the semiconductor substrate. The masking layer comprises a plurality of continuous sections and a plurality of openings exposing the substrate and disposed between the continuous sections. The diode also includes an epitaxial layer greater than 5 μm thick coupled to the substrate and the masking layer. The epitaxial layer comprises a first set of regions overlying the plurality of openings and characterized by a second dislocation density and a second set of regions overlying the set of continuous sections and characterized by a third dislocation density less than the first dislocation density and the second dislocation density. The diode further includes a second contact coupled to the epitaxial layer.
