What is Schottky Diode: Structure and Operation about?

The Schottky diode is a semiconductor diode formed from a metal-semiconductor junction rather than a semiconductor-semiconductor junction. When the metal and n-type semiconductor come into contact, electrons diffuse from the semiconductor into the metal, leaving a positively-charged depletion region. This creates a Schottky barrier that prevents electron flow from the semiconductor to metal without an external forward bias. In forward bias, "hot" electrons can overcome the barrier, while the barrier blocks
