Schottky diode is a unipolar device in which the current transport is mainly due to majority carriers compared to PN diode although they have the similar I-V characteristics. The diode I-V characteristics is measured by applying a staircase sweep voltage to the diode and monitoring the current.

The experimental parameters to be entered in the Source Setup pop-up panel include the start, stop, and number of steps for the sweep. You may also select the compliance current for protection. The diode voltage is limited to (-3V, 1V).
