trench Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs). The trench SBDs show significantly lower leakage current than regular SBDs. With employment of field plate, a breakdown voltage (BV) of 2.89 kV is achieved, which is ~500 V higher than those without field plate. Trench sidewall depletion is observed, and the average depletion width is extracted using an analytical model. The trench SBDs have a differential specific on-resistance(Ron,sp) of 10.5(8.8) mQ ·cm
