Intermediate Summary. Schottky barrier diode is a majority carrier device of great historical importance. There are similarities and differences with p-n junction diode: for electrostatics, it behaves like a one-sided diode, but current, the drift-diffusion approach requires modification.
Objectives: Schottky Diode Experiments. • Understand the metal-semiconductor junction. • Measure the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. • Measure the diode capacitance as a function of reverse bias. • Compute estimates of the semi-conductor doping concentration. • Use a Schottky Diode in a circuit. Diode: n-Type/Cr.
A Schottky diode turns on and turns off faster than a comparable pn-junction diode. The basic reason is that Schottky diodes are majority-carrier devices and have no stored minority carriers that must be injected into the device during turn-on and pulled out during turn-off. Trade-off The four most important application char-acteristics of a ...

Objectives: Schottky Diode Applications • Schottky diodes are used in all common applications of diodes • Additionally, Schottky diodes have higher switching speeds than PN diodes because they do not have a reverse voltage “recovery time” associated with charge storage at PN interfaces. • For this part of the lab:
Schottky diodes: I-V characteristics. The general shape of the I-V curve in the MS (n-type) diode are very similar to that in the p+n diode. However the dominant current components are decidedly different in the two diodes.
This application note introduces the benefits, working principles, and uses of Trench Schottky diodes compared to planar Schottky diodes. Schottky diodes are key components in modern electronics, known for their significant scientific breakthroughs and technological advancements.
