Is the 1N5821 Schottky diode made of silicon? Or is it composed of other materials?

From the datasheet:
This series employs the Schottky Barrier principle in a large area metal-to-silicon power diode.

\$\begingroup\$ The metal is identified in the data sheet: 'chrome barrier', presumably meaning chromium. \$\endgroup\$– Whit3rdCommented Mar 3, 2017 at 4:08
