6 / 8 page 6 Applications Information Schottky Diode Fundamentals The HBAT-540x series of clipping/clamping diodes are Schottky devices. A Schottky device is a rectifying, metal-semiconductorcontactformedbetweenametal andann-dopedorap-dopedsemiconductor.Whena metal-semiconductorjunctionisformed,freeelectrons flowacrossthejunctionfromthesemiconductorandfill thefree-energystatesinthemetal.Thisflowofelectrons createsadepletionorpotentialacrossthejunction.The differenceinenergylevelsbetweensemiconductorand metaliscalledaSchottkybarrier. P-doped, Schottky-barrier diodes excel at applications requiringultralowturn-onvoltage(suchaszero-biased RF detectors). But their very low, breakdown-voltage and high series-resistance make them unsuitable for the clipping and clamping applications involving high forward currents and high reverse voltages. Therefore, this discussion will focus entirely on n-doped Schottky diodes. Underaforwardbias(metalconnectedtopositiveinan n-dopedSchottky),orforwardvoltage,VF,therearemany electronswithenoughthermalenergytocrossthebarrier potentialintothemetal.Oncetheappliedbiasexceeds thebuilt-inpotentialofthejunction,theforwardcurrent, IF,willincreaserapidlyasVFincreases. WhentheSchottkydiodeisreversebiased,thepotential barrier for electrons becomes large; hence, there is a small probability that an electron will have suffi- cientthermalenergytocrossthejunction.Thereverse leakagecurrentwillbeinthenanoamperetomicroam- pererange,dependinguponthediodetype,thereverse voltage,andthetemperature. In contrast to a conventional p-n junction, current in the Schottky diode is carried only by majority carriers. Because no minority carrier charge storage effects are present, Schottky diodes have carrier lifetimes of less than 100ps and are extremely fast switching semi- conductors. Schottky diodes are used as rectifiers at frequenciesof50GHzandhigher. Another significant difference between Schottky and p-ndiodesistheforwardvoltagedrop.Schottkydiodes haveathresholdoftypically0.3Vincomparisontothat of0.6Vinp-njunctiondiodes.SeeFigure6. Figure 6.
