1. A multilayered semiconductor diode device comprising:
a substrate comprising silicon carbide (SiC);
an epitaxial drift layer comprising a first semiconductor oxide material, wherein the epitaxial drift layer is above the substrate with respect to a growth direction;
a polar nitride layer comprising a polar semiconductor nitride material, wherein the polar nitride layer is above the epitaxial drift layer with respect to the growth direction; and
a metal layer above the polar nitride layer with respect to the growth direction;
wherein the epitaxial drift layer is doped n-type, wherein a polarization axis of the polar semiconductor nitride material is aligned with the growth direction such that the polar nitride layer comprises p-type charge, and wherein the polar nitride layer and the epitaxial drift layer form a p/n junction.
