The advent of Dirac materials has made it possible to realize two-dimensional gases of relativistic fermions with unprecedented transport properties in condensed matter. Their photoconductive control ...

Electrical contacts between metals and semiconductors are fundamentally important for semiconductor devices 1,2,3. Shrinking their dimensions poses significant challenges because the properties of ...

A new technical review paper titled “The Schottky barrier transistor in emerging electronic devices” was published by researchers at THM University of Applied Sciences, Chalmers University of ...

This application note presents the real Schottky diodes as the best choice for lowest forward voltage drop. This document describes the low, medium and high voltage level applications, as well as ...

(Nanowerk News) The Energy, Electron, Plasma and Plasmonic (EEPP) Group led by Prof. Ricky Ang at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) says that it has uncovered the underlying ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The switchmode power supply (SMPS) accounts for more than 10% of the total system weight in a typical portable computer. Power supplies of today's ...

Planar Schottky diodes serve as output rectifiers and ORing functions in redundant (n+1) power supplies. However, developers are demanding improved forward voltage drop (V F) and reverse leakage ...

In this picture, researchers summarize the commonly used methods for adjusting the Schottky barrier, including the work function of the metals, interface gap states, image lowering effect, external ...

The Power Schottky diodes product portfolio of IXYS has extended its products in DPak (TO-252) packages and lowered power applications. The product line has six new Schottky diodes of the 2nd ...

On our travels round the hardware world we’ve encountered more than one group pursuing the goal of making their own silicon integrated circuits, and indeed we’ve seen [Sam Zeloof] producing some of ...

For beginners, diode types can sometimes be a bit of mental gymnastics. If all it does is act like a magic pixie check valve, why are there so many kinds? Schottky diodes are typically hard to ...
