The Schottky diode (named after German physicist Walter H. Schottky), also known as hot carrier diode, is a semiconductor diode with a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.
The Schottky diode (named after German physicist Walter H. Schottky), also known as hot carrier diode, is a semiconductor diode formed by the junction of a semiconductor with a metal. It has a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.
