Schottky Diode
 
A diode formed by the deposition of a metal layer on a semiconductor, creating a Schottky-barrier junction. The rectifying properties of a metal-semiconductor contact derive from the presence of an electrostatic barrier between the metal and the semiconductor. The resulting non-linear diode is similar to point-contact diodes and p-n junction diodes.

Schottky diodes are commonly used to create high frequency mixers, detectors, or clamps. Agilent Technologies manufactures Schottky diodes.
