Schottky Barrier Diode Market: Introduction
- A Schottky barrier diode, also called Schottky diode, is a metal-semiconductor diode that possesses a low forward voltage drop and a highly rapid switching speed.
- The Schottky diode is a different type of semiconductor diode; however, its forward voltage drop is substantially less than that of a conventional silicon PN-junction diode
- The current flows in the forward direction when the required forward voltage is applied. A silicon PN- diode has forward voltage of 600-700 mv, while a Schottky diode has forward voltage of 150-450 mv and hence, a Schottky diode has high switching speed and better system efficiency
- A metal semiconductor junction is formed between the metal and semiconductor, creating a Schottky diode. Metals that are widely used include molybdenum, platinum, chromium or tungsten, and silicides.
Rise in Demand for Schottky Barrier Diode in Telecommunication and Automotive Industries
- Schottky diode possesses low forward voltage drop as compared to that of a straightforward diode. It goes between 0.3-0.5V. Along these lines, there is less wastage of vitality as warmth. Schottky diodes offer higher proficiency, low capacitance and low profile surface-mount bundle. Consequently, these diodes are utilized in numerous applications and hence, these factors are estimated to fuel the demand for Schottky barrier diodes during the forecast period.
- Schottky barrier diodes are utilized as a part of voltage bracing, exchanged mode control supplies, and in test and hold circuits. They are utilized in sensitive applications due to their lower forward voltage drop. For instance, Schottky barrier diodes are employed in stationary photovoltaic (PV) cells to prevent batteries from releasing through the sunlight-based boards around evening time. This is called blocking diodes.
