The interface at which p-type silicon and n-type silicon make contact with each other. At this coupling point, free electrons (n-type) and holes (p-type) cancel each other and form a "depletion zone" ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

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: Photoluminescence spectroscopy was used to characterize a PN junction device formed on p-type mercury-cadmium-telluride (HgCdTe) material by ion-milling technique [1]. It was observed that ...

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 ...

Abstract: The procedures of fabrication of X- and γ-ray CdTe-based diode detectors with a p-n junction formed by laser-induced doping of the surface region of high resistivity p-like crystals in ...

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 ...
