LOW RESISTANCE SCHOTTKY DIODE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME

摘要

A Schottky diode is fabricated according to the following steps: forming a layer of metal-silicide on an underlying dielectric layer, forming a polysilicon layer on the upper surface of the metal-silicide layer, forming a second dielectric layer on the upper surface of the polysilicon layer and patterning the second dielectric layer to create a contact window through the second dielectric layer to an exposed surface region of the polysilicon layer, and forming a metal contact to the exposed surface region.
