Due to the subtle error among different manufacturing equipment, the gate delay of circuits is different and varies in a given scope, which induces the time uncertainty of the waveform.

The schottky diode bypasses the gate resistor in the gate discharge path, so that there is no falling edge delay. The delay at the rising edge adds dead time.

Experimental results with the less design time, area reductions of up to 48% and gate delay reduction of 40% demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
