PIN diodes are ideal for transmit-receive (TR) switches because of a favorable blend of cost, size, and switching speed. Although the PIN diode in the transmit (Tx) arm can be connected as either ...

The study of Schottky barrier (SB) MOSFETs with metallic source and drain contacts is expanding as a result of recent developments in the semiconductor industry. Instead of the usual impurity-doped ...

A diode made of a self-assembly monolayer with ferrocenyl termini shows an on/off ratio of ∼10 5. Figure 1: Limitations and opportunities for the on/off current ratio in nanometre-scale devices. The ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...
