Hello,
A Schottky barrier is said to have rectifying characteristics, which from what I can understand is bad ...but would the rectifying characteristics mean that current passing through the junction would be flat ...level is probably a better way to describe it rather than flat.
I only ask because from what I have been reading, a low Schottky barrier will give ohmic contacts, and therefore a linear current. So, I would have thought rectifying characteristics would have been good ...using the analogy of the rectifier converting AC to DC?
Thanks
