Rectifier Diode: Rectifier diode is the simplest p-n junction diode , used mostly for rectification purposes in a half bridge and full bridge rectifier. 2. Schottky Diode Unlike a rectifier diode, junction of schottky diode is between n-type semiconductor to a metal plate. Schottky diode also known as barrier diode is mainly used in low voltage circuits because fwd voltage drop of schottky diode(Vf) is less then a rectifier diode typically in the range of .25 to .5 v. 3. Zener Diode: Zener diode is made up of p-n junction but heavily doped compared to a normal diode. As a result, it can undergo break down without being damaged. And Due to this property only, zener is used as a voltage regulator in electronic circuits. In fact, zener diodes are never used for rectification purposes.
