Abstract
A new concept for reducing the forward voltage drop of Schottky rectifiers without incurring excessive reverse leakage currents is introduced. In this concept, a junction grid is incorporated beneath the Schottky barrier to pinch off current flow during reverse blocking. Experimental results that demonstrate the capability to reduce the forward drop from 0.6 to 0.4 V without incurring an increase in leakage current are presented.Keywords
