AN ELECTRODE CONNECTION STRUCTURE IN A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

A compact connection structure between two electrodes made of two types of metals, i.e., metals which respectively make Schottky and ohmic contact with a semiconductor, is provided by using a high melting point metal or silicide thereof which makes Schottky contact with the semiconductor as one electrode metal. The two types of electrodes can be brought into direct contact with each other, enabling elimination of through hole connections between them and therefore increased semiconductor device density.
