Rectification

[edit]

I would like to know what are the lowest Schottky barriers (in kT), which still rectify. Can anyone tell me? htg@interia.pl 83.22.88.119 (talk) 12:08, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Any nonzero barrier will lead to a current–voltage characteristic that is asymmetric (a difference of exponentials that you can calculate). Depending on what criterion you want to use for "rectify" you can pick a threshold barrier. Dicklyon (talk) 14:33, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
