Abstract:
1. A Schottky device having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, comprising: a Schottky-like device having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, wherein the positive terminal of the Schottky-like device operates as the positive terminal of the Schottky device; and a depletion transistor having a first current electrode coupled to the negative terminal of the Schottky-like device, a gate coupled to the positive terminal of the Schottky-like device, and a second current electrode that operates as the negative terminal of the Schottky device, wherein the Schottky-like device comprises a transistor having a first current electrode, a gate, and body tied together to form the positive terminal of the Schottky-like device and a second current electrode as the negative terminal of the Schottky-like device.
