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 ...

You need a TVS diode because many voltage regulators do not have the ability to sink current, nor can they respond fast ...

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.

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
