SWITCH WITH INTEGRATED SCHOTTKY BARRIER CONTACT

Abstract:

Circuits, systems, devices, and methods related to a switch with an integrated Schottky barrier contact are discussed herein. For example, a radio-frequency switch can include an input node, an output node, and a transistor connected between the input node and the output node. The transistor can be configured to control passage of a radio-frequency signal from the input node to the output node. The transistor can include a first Schottky diode integrated into a drain of the transistor and/or a second Schottky diode integrated into a source of the transistor. The first Schottky diode and/or the second Schottky diode can be configured to compensate a non-linearity effect of the radio-frequency switch.
