The invention relates to a
power diode and a method for manufacturing the
power diode. The
power diode comprises a bottom
electrode, a substrate layer, an N- type epitaxial layer and a top
electrode, wherein the top
electrode serves as the positive electrode of the power
diode, the bottom electrode serves as the negative electrode of the power
diode, at least two grooves are transversely formed in the upper portion of the N- type epitaxial layer in a spaced mode, and an MOS channel is formed in the portion, between every two adjacent grooves, of the N- type epitaxial layer. The power
diode is made of
silicon materials and can be obtained through an existing
silicon semiconductor integrated circuit; special
metal materials are not needed, and the method for manufacturing the power diode is compatible with an existing
semiconductor production technology; the backward
voltage resistance of the device is improved through p+ regions injected into the grooves; when backward
voltage is applied to the device, the p+ exhaustion regions in the grooves expand and are connected, a backward
current channel is
cut off, and the
voltage resistance of the device is improved; when the power diode operates in the forward direction,
electricity is conducted through parasitic
mosfet, and the forward starting voltage of the device is reduced.
