Tom qab kev tsim khoom ntawm thawj lub tshuab hluav taws xob semiconductor, ntau tus kws tshawb fawb zoo tau tshawb xyuas cov khoom ntawm p-n junction. Raws li koj tuaj yeem tau twv, qhov no yog ib qho diode uas tuaj yeem pom hauv ib qho hluav taws xob hluav taws xob. Thaum lub sij hawm ntawm nws invention, nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb uas ua ib tug tiag tiag kiv puag ncig thiab hloov tag nrho cov tswv yim hais txog lub neej yav tom ntej ntawm electronics. Tsis tas li ntawd, thev naus laus zis ntawm nws qhov chaw tsim khoom tsis nyob twj ywm yam tsis muaj kev saib xyuas. Zenner thiab Gunn diode tshwm sim. Lub Schottky diode kuj tau tsim,
muaj khoom txaus nyiam. Nws siv nyob rau hauv electronics tsis yog sensational raws li nws nto moo "cov kwv tij". Cov khoom tshwj xeeb ntawm cov khoom no tau siv yav dhau los hauv cov txheej txheem tshwj xeeb thiab tsis pom daim ntawv thov dav. Nws yog txhua yam nthuav dav uas tsis ntev los no Schottky diode tau pib siv los ua lub hauv paus tseem ceeb hauv kev hloov cov khoom siv hluav taws xob. Nws ua haujlwm hauv yuav luag txhua yam khoom siv hluav taws xob hauv tsev: TVs, tape recorders, tus kheej lub computer, laptops, thiab lwm yam Nws tsis pub tshaj 0.4 volts. Ntawd yog, raws li qhov noparameter, nws yog ze li sai tau rau cov khoom zoo tagnrho uas siv rau hauv kev suav. Muaj tseeb, ntawm qhov hluav taws xob ntau tshaj 50 volts, cov khoom no ploj mus. Txawm li cas los xij, Schottky diode tau siv dav hauv circuits nrog kev ua haujlwm amplifiers. Lub zog hluav taws xob ntawm cov hluav taws xob zoo li no tsis pub tshaj 15 volts ntawm qhov hluav taws xob ncaj qha, uas ua rau nws muaj peev xwm ua kom tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo ntawm cov khoom ntawm cov cuab yeej no. Nws tuaj yeem nyob hauv lub voj voog tawm tswv yim raws li qhov txwv tsis pub lossis koom nrog kev ua haujlwm ntawm cov tswj hwm.
Ntxiv rau cov cuab yeej tseem ceeb xws li qhov hluav taws xob poob thoob plaws p-n kev sib tshuam, Schottky diode muaj lub peev xwm me me. Qhov no tso cai rau nws ua haujlwm nyob rau hauv high zaus circuits. Cov khoom yuav luag "zoo tagnrho" ntawm cov khoom no tsis cuam tshuam cov teeb liab zaus. Yog vim li cas lawv thiaj pib muab tso rau hauv kev hloov cov khoom siv hluav taws xob, cov khoom siv sib txuas lus thiab cov tswj hwm. Tab sis ntxiv rau qhov zoo, nws yog ib qho tsim nyog yuav tsum nco ntsoov qhov tsis zoo. Schottky diodes yog qhov rhiab heev txawm tias lub sijhawm luv luv ntawm qhov rov qab voltage los ntawm tus nqi tso cai. Qhov no ua rau kev ua tsis tiav ntawm lub caij. Tsis zoo li nws cov silicon counterparts, nws tsis zoo. Thermal breakdowns ua rau cov tsos ntawm cov dej ntws tawm, lossis mus rau "kev hloov pauv" ntawm cov cuab yeej mus rau hauv tus neeg xyuas pib.
Thawj qhov tsis ua tiav yuav ua rau tag nrho cov khoom siv hluav taws xob tsis ruaj khov. Nws yog qhov nyuaj heev los nrhiav thiab tshem tawm nws. Raws li rau thermal tawg, ces, piv txwv li, nyob rau hauv ib tug switching fais fab mov, qhov no yuav ua rau lub lag luam ntawm luv luv Circuit Court tiv thaiv. Tom qab hloovCov khoom tsis zoo, cov khoom siv hluav taws xob yuav ua haujlwm ib txwm. Kev lag luam niaj hnub tsim muaj zog txaus Schottky diodes. Cov mem tes tam sim no hauv cov khoom siv no tuaj yeem ncav cuag 1.2 kA. Qhov kev khiav hauj lwm tas li nyob rau hauv qee hom nce mus txog 120 A. Cov khoom siv no muaj ntau yam tam sim no thiab kev ua haujlwm zoo. Lawv tau ua tiav hauv cov khoom siv hauv tsev thiab cov khoom siv hluav taws xob.
