Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) is a diode that operates based on the Schottky barrier principle formed by the contact between metal and semiconductor. It has significant characteristics such as low forward voltage drop, high switching speed, and low reverse recovery time, and is widely used in electronic circuits such as high-frequency rectification, switching power supplies, and freewheeling diodes. The following analysis will be conducted from the aspects of definition, characteristics, application areas, and comparison of advantages and disadvantages:
Schottky diodes and silicon carbide Schottky diodes are two different types of diodes.
