Schottky diode
noun Electronics
A solid-state diode having a metal-semiconductor junction, used in fast switching applications.The design is based on a multichip module that carries the driver circuitry, power MOSFETs and Schottky diode....
- It also features an integrated Schottky diode, further reducing the number of components required on the printed circuit board.
Origin
1960s: named after W. Schottky (see Schottky barrier).
