Schottky diode definition

Schottky diode is a metal-semiconductor junction diode that has less forward voltage drop than the P-N junction diode and can be used in high-speed switching applications. 

What is a schottky diode?

In a normal p-n junction diode, a p-type semiconductorand an n-type semiconductor are used to form the p-n junction. When a p-type semiconductor is joined with an n-type semiconductor, a junction is formed between the P-type and N-type semiconductor. This junction is known as P-N junction. 

In schottky diode, metals such as aluminum or platinum replace the P-type semiconductor. The schottky diode is named after German physicist Walter H. Schottky.

Schottky diode is also known as schottky barrier diode, surface barrier diode, majority carrier device, hot-electron diode, or hot carrier diode. Schottky diodes are widely used in radio frequency (RF) application
