Dan,
Silicon is what the diode is made from.   Silicone is something else again
:-)

They have low forward voltage drop (like a germanium diode) and fast
recovery, ie high freq. capability.

There's a tutorial at <www.web-ee.com/primers/files/Microsemi/schottky.pdf

/Anyone know what a Schottky Barrier Rectifier is and how it differs from a

/What would it be used for?
