Which has a higher switching loss between Schottky diodes and fast recovery diodes?How to calculate the loss of Schottky diode and fast recovery diode in the same switching circuit? Which loss is greater?

Schottky diode is a device that works with most charge carriers, without charge carrier storage effect. It has a fast switching speed and is a structure where metal and semiconductor are in contact. The series resistance is very small, so its switching loss is very small.

Fast recovery diodes are minority carrier devices with storage effects, and their series resistance is generally larger, so the switching losses are relatively higher.
