Diffusion for p-n diode (Shockley diode) Thermionic emission for Schottky diode
pn Pros The Schottky diode does not have the diffusion capacitance and hence its switching speed is much faster than pn diode. The turn on voltage of Schottky diode is less than pn junction. Cons The off current of Schottky diode is bigger than that of pn junction.
