Silicon Schottky P-Type Diodes: Low Barrier

The Aeroflex / Metelics Schottky diodes are optimized for superior 1/f noise on P-type silicon epitaxial substrate with proprietary process. In general they require a small forward bias (5 ~ 50 μA) for small power levels below -20 dBm when used as microwave detectors.

  • Superior 1/f noise.
  • Better temperature stability than zero bias Schottky diode.
  • Low barrier height.
  • Passivated with silicon nitride.
  •   Spice Model 
VF @ 1 mA = 220 ~ 330 mV, Vbr@ 10 mA = 3 V min.
