Airbridge

The Schottky contact is connected to the anode pad using a Gold airbridge.

Figure 3a shows the process flow for an air dielectric cross-over or air bridge

An airbridge is essentially a thick plated strap which crosses over one or several conductors with an air gap in between for low parasitic coupling

Here the so-called 'air-bridge' crossover is useful. This crossover consists of a deposited strap which crosses over one or more conductors with an air gap in between for low capacitive coupling.
