Here we introduce some of the most important high voltage diodes available. The most commonly specified type of high voltage diodes are PIN, Schottky, and Zener PIN Diodes PIN diodes are three-layer ...

General Purpose (PN Junction Diodes) PN junction diodes are used for general-purpose applications. They are also known as PN diodes, PN junctions, and small-signal diodes. Zener Diodes Zener diodes ...

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, ...

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).

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" ...
