Quick Quiz

(a) What are the differences between an MS diode, a Schottky diode, and a hot carrier diode?


(b) An ideal MS contact is formed between a metal and a semiconductor with ɸM = x. Under what conditions will the contact be ohmic-like, and under what conditions willthe contact be rectifying?


(c) The solutions for the electrostatic variables p, ,and Von the lightly doped side of a p+ -n or n+ -p junction diode and inside the semiconductor of a comparably doped MS diode are all but identical. Are there any significant differences in the electrostatic formulations?


(d) Name the dominant current component in MS diodes .


(e) Somehow the  component of the current in an MS(n-type) diode was determined without a detailed mathematical analysis of electron injection from the metal into the semiconductor. How was this accomplished?


(f) Explain why MS diodes do not exhibit a diffusion capacitance or diffusion conductance.


(g) Explain why MS diodes switch very rapidly from the forward-bias on-state to the reverse-bias off-state.


(h) What is a "Schottky diode clamp"?


(i) Describe the usual procedure followed in forming practical ohmic contacts.


(j) What is "spiking"?
