Schottky Transistor
Schottky Transistor combines the principles of a Schottky diode and a bipolar transistor into a single device. Like a Schottky diode, it has a metal-semiconductor junction instead of a traditional semiconductor-semiconductor junction. This metal-semiconductor junction forms a Schottky barrier, which has lower forward voltage drop and faster switching characteristics compared to a traditional P-N junction.
Types of Transistors
Transistor is similar to a semiconductor device which when used either conducts or insulates electric current or voltage. Prepared by three American physicists, John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley in the year 1947. There are different types of transistors based on their working principle.
This article deals with various types of transistor in detail along with introduction of transistor, its working and applications
