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

Schematic Diagram of a P-N Junction Diode: The diagram illustrates the basic structure of a p-n junction diode with p-type silicon on one side, n-type silicon on the other, and the anode and cathode ...

Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special!

Analyze pn junction at equilibrium and under bias, capacitance and current characteristics, and breakdown behavior. Analyze metal-semiconductor contact at equilibrium and under bias, capacitance and ...

This image shows a state-of-the-art design of GaN p-n junction diodes that has resulted in near-unity ideality factor, avalanche breakdown capability, and record-breaking power performance. Insets ...

However, a graphene PN junction has no band gap voltage, so it should be ideal. However, previous attempts to find negative refraction in graphene were not successful.
