MBRS410ET3 Working Principle

The working principle of a Schottky Rectifier consists of a diodes layer on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor materials used in the Schottky diode layers are typically either group III-V (gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide and others) or group II-VI compounds (cadmium selenide, cadmium sulfide, etc.). This junction offers a low voltage drop compared with other types of rectifiers. When an external potential is applied to the Schottky rectifier, the electrons in the metal-semiconductor interface start the flow of current. The directions of this current is determined by the electrostatic potential difference between the junction partners. The performance of the diode depends on the characteristics of the metallurgical junction such as leakage current, on-state resistance, reverse recovery time, and forward recovery time.
