Question
As compared to an ordinary semiconductor diode, a Schottky diode
Options
A. has higher reverse saturation current
B. has higher reverse saturation current and higher cut in voltage
C. has higher reverse saturation current and lower cut in voltage
D. has lower reverse saturation current and lower cut in voltage

Correct Answer

has higher reverse saturation current and lower cut in voltage

Explanation

This is due to high electron concentration in metals.
