Summary: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.
