This second course provides a more detailed description of high-voltage Schottky and p-n diodes, starting with the semiconductor physics background needed to analyze both types of diodes. The main ...

The four-layer diode, also known as a Shockley Diode, is a crystal made of alternating layers of N- and P- type semiconductors. By putting in four layers, instead of the three used in transistors ...

Instead of using conventional optical nonlinearity to create a bistable device, Bloch and collaborators instead use a light-emitting p-i-n diode based on an electrically biased single-mode Fabry ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of ...
