Schottky barrier diode combines low VF and IR for advanced image sensor protection

Schottky Barrier Diode for Advanced Image Sensor Protection

ROHM Semiconductor has developed an innovative Schottky barrier diode, overcoming the conventional trade-off between VF and IR.

This diode provides high reliability protection for high-resolution image sensor applications, including ADAS cameras.

Challenges in ADAS Cameras

Modern ADAS cameras require higher pixel counts, creating a growing concern: the risk of damage caused by photovoltaic voltage generated under light exposure during power OFF.

Achieving low VF and IR simultaneously has been a longstanding technical challenge.
