Forschungsteam untersucht Gleichrichtung in Schottky-Dioden im Infrarotbereich Wie schnell funktioniert eigentlich eine Diode? Wird sie unter idealen Bedingungen betrieben, kann sie bis zu 2 Billionen Mal pro Sekunde umgeladen werden – schneller ist es bislang in konventionellen Hochfrequenz-Schalt...
