[Walter Schottky] was a German and although some people call it a hot carrier diode, most people use the inventor’s name. We don’t know of another name for [Clarence Melvin Zener]’s invention.

Medium-voltage CoolGaN G5 transistors from Infineon include a built-in Schottky diode to minimize dead-time losses and enhance system efficiency. The integrated diode also streamlines power stage ...

Schottky diodes are typically hard to mentally set apart from the standard when described by a data sheet. Zener diodes can be downright baffling for beginners, especially when mistakenly thrown ...

Central Semiconductor Corp.’s CMLD6263 Series PICOmini surface-mount Schottky diodes are rated at 70-V (max) peak repetitive reverse voltage with a continuous Central Semiconductor Corp.’s ...

If the transistor has an active partner to take over reverse-conduction, then reducing dead-time, when the transistor has to reverse-conduct, will help maintain efficiency, pointed out Infineon, and ...

The Schottky diode has a 250-mV barrier height (at 1 mA) and a ~0.8-pF zero-bias capacitance. 21 The parasitic inductances associated with the diodes’ bond-wires and leads are 0.7 nH and 0.4 nH ...

Traditionally, the Schottky diode equation is often used for characterization of I-V curve of metal/semiconductor contact. Thus researchers in the device community still blindly employ this “old” ...
