Walter H. Schottky (1886–1976) was a German physicist renowned for his contributions to semiconductor physics and electronics. He is most well-known for the **Schottky barrier**, which refers to the potential energy barrier for electrons at the junction between a metal and a semiconductor. This concept has significant implications in the design and functioning of various electronic devices, including diodes and transistors.
