Abstract

That component of the terminal current of Schottky diodes due to the high fringing fields at the metal periphery is discussed. Special device structures are described which enable the peripheral current to be measured unambiguously. Reasonable qualitative agreement is obtained with a theoretical estimate of the peripheral current using thermionic and thermionic-field emission theories.
