Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a Schottky diode and belongs to the technical field of semiconductors. Background technique
[0002] A diode is an electronic component, a device with two electrodes that only allows current to flow in one direction. Many uses are for its rectification function. The varactor diode (VaricapDiode) is used as an electronic adjustable capacitor. The current directionality of most diodes is usually called "rectifying" function. The most common function of a diode is to only allow current to pass in a single direction (called forward bias), and to block it when it is reversed (called reverse bias). So a diode can be thought of as the electronic version of a check valve.
[0003] There are many types of diodes, which can be divided into germanium diodes (Ge tubes) and silicon diodes (Si tubes) according to the semiconductor materials used. According to their different uses, they can be divided into detection diodes, rectifier diod...
