A Schottky diode can be switchd off much faster than an equivalent p-n junction diode due to its Correct Answer no recombination of charges

Due to the metal-silicon junction there are no stored charges, hence no reverse recovery time due to which the switching is faster.

Assertion (A): A p-n junction diode with low junction depth can be used as a solar cell when illuminated by suitable light (wavelength) at the top thin layer above the junction. Reason (R): A p-n junction diode under no condition can be used as a solar cell. It can be used only as a light-emitting diode for optoelectronic applications.
