'typically 300mv' conflicts with 'Schottky diodes have a drop of only about 0.2 volts.' in opening paragraph.

This article needs expanding with more detail and facts on metal-semiconductor contacts. Any takers?? Al

[edit] Schottky Resistance
Whilst the diode does require lowered voltage this in turn means a reduction is temperature and so an increase in later resistance
[edit] Spelling
Is it Schottky or Shottky? There is the Walter Shottky institute in Germany. Can anyone verify his real spelling? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.209.67.191 (talk) 20:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
- S. M. Sze (Physics of semiconductor devices, ISBN 0471056618 ) mentions the "Schottky effect", and B. Jayant Baliga (Power Semiconductor Decices ISBN 0534940986 ) has a section on "Schottky Barrier Rectifiers". CyrilB 21:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pronounciation
-how do you pronounce 'schottky'?
- SHOT-key - RC Cola 20:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- ch !=> h; k !=> k. It's Skotecy. -lysdexia 02:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- IMHO you're wrong; I speak German and SHOT-key seems to be right. sch [ger] = ʃ [ IPA ] = sh [eng]; k is pronounced similarly in both languages. Torzsmokus 16:39, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Should mention Silicon Carbide devices?
Cree Inc. makes SiC schottky diodes with high Vr ratings. Specs for CSD20120 are: Vr 1200V, If(avg) 20A, Vf(typ) 1.6V @ 10A. CSD20120 Datasheet (PDF). —Ryan 23:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it should be introduced alongside of the limitations of Si schottkies (low temp and low voltage). CyrilB 07:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
