SCHOTTK Y DIODE

Schottky Diode

  • These diodes connect metals and semiconductors.
  • The schottky diode is one type. It is also called a hot-carrier diode, a low-voltage diode, or a Schottky barrier diode.
  • When a semiconductor and a metal come together, they make a Schottky diode. The Schottky diode can switch quickly and has a small forward voltage drop.
  • We already know that a PN junction diode has a PN junction made up of a p-type and an n-type.
  • On the other hand, metals like platinum or aluminum are used in a Schottky diode instead of P-type semiconductors.

 

Schottky Diode Symbol

  • The Schottky barrier diode picture is based on the basic diode circuit picture.

The figure shows the Schottky diode's circuit sign.

V-I Characteristics of Schottky Diode

  • The V-I features of Schottky diodes are a lot like those of PN junction diodes.
  • As you can see, in a Schottky diode, current is the dependent variable and voltage is the independent variable.
  • Between 0.2 and 0.3 volts, the Schottky diode has a low forward voltage drop.
