Abstract

The application of Schottky diodes in high speed switching circuits has often been limited because of conventional devices inherently low reverse breakdown voltages and large leakage currents. Guard-ring Schottky diodes exhibit low leakage current and high reverse breakdown voltage, but their application has been confined to low currents because of minority carrier injection from the guard-ring at high forward bias level.
