A PN Junction Diode is a semiconductor device formed by joining p-type and n-type materials, allowing current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. This property makes ...

Abstract: Due to high level of the leakage reverse current, commercial power silicon diodes available at this time have no specification in the data sheets for operation above 200 degC junction ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, ...

Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be the metal ...

Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use ...
