A Schottky diode generally switches faster than an ordinary PN diode mainly because it is primarily a?

  • AMajority-carrier device with little minority-carrier charge storage
  • BDevice with an extremely thick depletion region only
  • CLight-emitting junction
  • DCurrent-controlled transistor
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Majority-carrier device with little minority-carrier charge storage
Explanation: Schottky conduction mainly involves majority carriers, so there is little minority-carrier storage and reverse-recovery delay is small.
Reference: Standard electronics: Schottky diode
