A conventional PN junction diode may have a voltage drop between 0.6-1.7 V, whereas the Schottky diode voltage drop is 0.15V ñ0.45V. A lower voltage drop permits a higher switching speed as well ...

A merged-structure device combining pn junction and Schottky operating modes in one diode addresses design challenges in single-phase boost converters while reducing component and system costs ...

A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative). The junction creates a ...
