The PN junction is one of the primary building blocks of semiconductors. A diode (one way valve) is a PN junction with p-type on one side and n-type on the other. When a positive voltage is ...

Energy band diagram of pn junction under forward bias, Continuity equation, Boundary conditions, Ideal diode equation, Long- and short-base diodes, Recombination and generation in the depletion region ...

Bipolar devices, such as pn diodes and bipolar junction transistors, hold promising potential in the high-power electronics industry due to their ability to withstand reverse voltage currents.

Creating a p-n diode SPICE model. Constructing a Schottky diode SPICE ... which consists of a metal-semiconductor junction. You will apply the drift-diffusion model, solving Gauss' law leading to the ...

A brief introduction to solid-state physics, leading to discussion of physical characteristics of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and field-effect transistors: active, saturated, ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley ...
