A gallium nitride based semiconductor diode includes a substrate, a GaN layer formed on the substrate, an AlGaN layer formed on the GaN layer where the GaN layer and the AlGaN layer forms a cathode region of the diode, a metal layer formed on the AlGaN layer forming a Schottky junction therewith where the metal layer forms an anode electrode of the diode, and a high barrier region formed in the top surface of the AlGaN layer and positioned under an edge of the metal layer. The high barrier region has a higher bandgap energy than the AlGaN layer or being more resistive than the AlGaN layer.
