Question 299

Which of the following is a Schottky barrier diode?

  1. Metal-semiconductor junctionCorrect answer
  2. Electrolytic rectifier
  3. PIN junction
  4. Thermionic emission diode

Explanation

A Schottky barrier is the rectifying barrier formed where a metal contacts a lightly doped semiconductor, so no PN junction is involved at all. Electrolytic rectifiers and thermionic emission diodes are older and unrelated technologies, and a PIN structure is a different semiconductor arrangement.
