Description
Summary:It has been demonstrated that a metal-to-semiconductor rectifying junction can be designed as a fast computer diode. 1,2 It can also be designed as a high performance varactor. 3.4 There is increasing evidence that Schottky barrier diodes may, with suitable design modifications, outperform the conventional point contact diodes in the field of varistor applications. 5,6
