An embodiment of the invention is a Schottky diode 22 having a semiconductor
substrate 3, a first metal 24, a barrier layer 26, and second
metal 28. Another embodiment of the invention is a method of manufacturing
a Schottky diode 22 that includes providing a semiconductor substrate 3,
forming a barrier layer 26 over the semiconductor substrate 3, forming
a first metal layer 23 over the semiconductor substrate 3, annealing
the semiconductor substrate 3 to form areas 24 of reacted first metal
and areas 23 of un-reacted first metal, and removing selected areas 23
of the un-reacted first metal. The method further includes forming a second metal
layer 30 over the semiconductor substrate 3 and annealing the semiconductor
substrate 3 to form areas 28 of reacted second metal and areas 30
of un-reacted second metal.
