THIS DIODE HAS LOW LEAKAGE CURRENTS, IMPROVE REVERSE BIAS CHARACTERISTICS, AND REDUCED JUNCTION AND MOS CAPACITANCE. THE LOW LEAKAGE CURRENTS ARE OBTAINED BY MINIMIZING THE SURFACE PERIMETER OF THE DEVICE, THE LOW JUNCTION CAPACITANCE IS ATTAINED BY REDUCING THE JUNCTION AREA OF THE TWO ACTIVE REGIONS AND THE REDUCED MOS CAPACITANCE IS ACHIEVED BY FORMING A CAVITY BENEATH THE CONTACT OF THE ANODE REGION OR BY OFFSETTING THE ANODE REGION UNDERNEATH THE ANODE CONTACT.
