Solution

  1. The Schottky rectifier is a type of metal semiconductor junction diode.
  2. Schottky diode offers fast switching action and has a low forward voltage drop.
  3. The Schottky diode has been useful for the industry of electronics that has spotted many applications in diode rectifiers.
  4. The Schottky diode has less forward voltage drop than the P-N junction diode.
  5. in the Schottky diode, the capacitance of the diode is low as the depletion region of the diode is negligible.
