Schottky Diode:

A Schottky Diode is a metal-semiconductor diode with a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching speed.

  • A Schottky diode is formed between metal and semiconductor (n-type), thus there is no p-n junction in the Schottky diode.
  • Schottky diodes have less recovery time compare to normal diodes and hence provide fast switching speeds.
  • Schottky diodes are used in high-frequency applications.
