Why Schottky diodes are used in wave shaping circuits?
Schottky diodes are often used for RF radio frequency applications as a mixer or detector diode. Another common application for the Schottky diode is in power applications as a rectifier.
What is the difference between series and parallel diodes?
Connecting diodes in series:Connecting diodes in series will increase the forward voltage of the resultant diode.Connecting diodes in series will cause an open circuit until peak inverse voltage (smallest diode) is applied on total resultant.Connecting diodes in parallel:Connecting diodes in parallel will increase the current carrying capacity of the diode.Connecting diodes in parallel will not get you a resultant diode conduction in both sides.
What is the fastest kind of diode?
The step recovery diodes are the "fastest" in that, while they may take relatively a long time between when the external voltage becomes negative until they switch fully off, the reverse current stops much more abruptly than other diodes. The tunnel diodes and Gunn diodes are the "fastest" in that the time after the external voltage becomes negative to the time they switch off is shorter than other diodes. The Schottky diodes are the "next-fastest" in that the time after the external voltage becomes negative to the time they switch off is very short.
A diode is a perfect short when it is forward biased True or False?
A forward biased diode is not a complete short. Depending on it's design, it will have some forward voltage drop. Silicon diodes normally hafe a drop around .7 V, germanium have a drop around .2V. Some of the newer Schottky diodes fall in between. Selenium diodes have a greater FWD drop.
Why schottky is called hot carrier diode?
Because the energy of electrons transfer from semiconductor to metal side have more energy than the fermi energy of electrons in metal side. That's why these are called hot carrier diodes
What are schottky diodes are also known as?
metal-semiconductor junction diodes
What are the major classification of diodes?
1. general purpose diodes 2. fast recovery diodes 3. schottky diodes
What Diodes contains a metal semiconductor junction?
Schottky Diode
Modes of operations of schottky diodes?
what is direct and indirect mode
Which diodes has a characteristic curve with both a forward and a reverse breakover?
Schottky

What are some types of diodes?
Point contact Germanium Signal Schottky Zener Pin Power
Can you use Schottky diodes for crystal radios?
No, cos if u add water to them, they will actually blow up!

Difference between Schottky Barrier Diodes and PN junction diodes?
Difference between Schottky Barrier Diode and P-N Junction Diode is as following...Schottky Diode1) Usually using the aluminum metal which is trivalent element. 2) Depletion layer is thinner than the p-n junction diode.3) Forward threshold voltage is smaller than p-n junction diode(0.1V).4) The junction capacitance is lower than p-n junction diode.P-N Junction Diode1) Trivalent impurity is added to the pure silicon structure. 2) Depletion layer is wider than Schottky diode.3) Forward threshold voltage is higher than Schottky diode(0.6V)4) The junction capacitance is higher than Schottky diode.
How do you Test Schottky Barrier Diodes?
Set analogue multimeter to x 10 k ohm. Place the red probe to the cathode and the black probe to anode and you will get a low ohm reading. Now, reverse the probe and you will get some leakage reading. That leaking reading is what tells you this is a Schottky Barrier Diode.
How is series clipper differ from parallel clipper?
Series clipper diodes are in series connection with the load while Parallel clippers are in parallel connection with the load.
