A Schottky diode is a type of diode that utilizes a metal-semiconductor junction, typically composed of a metal (such as aluminum or platinum) and a semiconductor material (such as silicon or gallium arsenide). It is characterized by its low forward voltage drop and fast switching speed. The Schottky diode symbol consists of a straight line connected to a diagonal line, with the diagonal line representing the metal-semiconductor junction. Due to its low voltage drop and minimal reverse recovery time, this diode is commonly used in applications requiring high-frequency rectification, such as power supplies, RF circuits, and solar cells.
