Characterization and Modelling of THz Schottky Diodes

Efficient characterization and modelling techniques have a key role in the development of Schottky diode-based devices with state-of-the-art performance. This paper makes an effort to introduce such techniques and to provide examples of how they are used by the Schottky community. The modelling techniques covered in the paper are circuit simulator and electro-magnetic modelling. Characterization methods include current-voltage, capacitance-voltage, S-parameter, test jig-based, and thermal measurement techniques
