Abstract
- The Schottky diode also known as hot carrier diode is a Semiconductor diode with a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action. The cat’s-whisker detectors used in the early days of wireless and metal rectifiers used in early power applications can be considered primitive Schottky diodes.When current flows through a diode thereis a small voltage drop across the diode terminals.A normal silicon diode has a voltage dropsilicon diode has a voltage drop is betweenapproximately 0.15–0.45 volts. This lowervoltage drop can provide higher switchingspeed and better system efficiency
