What we really want is an ideal diode with zero voltage drop. Sadly, such a thing does not exist; however, there is a type of diode with a lower voltage drop — the Schottky diode. What we really want ...

A next-generation Schottky barrier diode achieves the rare combination of ultra-low forward voltage and reverse current, ...

The paper represents the electrical behaviour of a new Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) power Schottky Diode compared to the bipolar silicon diodes. The paper also introduces its electrical measurements ...

ROHM's Innovative Schottky Barrier Diode Combines low VF with low IR which is ideal for protection applications. VF vs IR ...

Many industrial applications today are moving towards higher power levels with minimised power losses. One way to accomplish this is to increase the DC link voltage. Infineon Technologies AG satisfies ...

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged ...

As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful side ...

The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: thermionic ...
