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.
