Applications Information
Introduction
Avago’s HSMS-285x family of Schottky detector diodes
has been developed specifically for low cost, high
volume designs in small signal (P
tions at frequencies below 1.5 GHz. At higher frequen-
cies, the DC biased HSMS-286x family should be consid-
ered.
In large signal power or gain control applications
(P
ucts should be used. The HSMS-285x zero bias diode is
not designed for large signal designs.
Schottky Barrier Diode Characteristics
Stripped of its package, a Schottky barrier diode chip
consists of a metal-semiconductor barrier formed by de-
position of a metal layer on a semiconductor. The most
common of several different types, the passivated diode,
is shown in Figure 5, along with its equivalent circuit.

The Height of the Schottky Barrier
The current-voltage characteristic of a Schottky barrier
diode at room temperature is described by the following
equation:
On a semi-log plot (as shown in the Avago catalog) the
current graph will be a straight line with inverse slope
2.3 X 0.026 = 0.060 volts per cycle (until the effect of R
seen in a curve that droops at high current). All Schottky
diode curves have the same slope, but not necessar-
ily the same value of current for a given voltage. This is
determined by the saturation current, I
the barrier height of the diode.
Through the choice of p-type or n-type silicon, and the
selection of metal, one can tailor the characteristics of a
Schottky diode. Barrier height will be altered, and at the
same time C
low barrier height diodes (with high values of I
able for zero bias applications) are realized on p-type
silicon. Such diodes suffer from higher values of R
do the n-type. Thus, p-type diodes are generally reserved
for small signal detector applications (where very high
values of R
used for mixer applications (where high L.O. drive levels
keep R
Measuring Diode Parameters
The measurement of the five elements which make up
the low frequency equivalent circuit for a packaged
Schottky diode (see Figure 6) is a complex task. Various
techniques are used for each element. The task begins
with the elements of the diode chip itself.
