Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be the metal ...

Engineers from North Carolina State University, Adroit Materials and Poland’s Institute of High-Pressure Physics have reduced ...

Nexperia has introduced a 10A 650V silicon carbide (SiC) industrial Schottky diode in a 2pin through-hole TO-220 plastic package. Called PSC1065K, the company is not making its full data sheet public ...

A merged-structure device combining pn junction and Schottky operating modes in one diode addresses design challenges in single-phase boost converters while reducing component and system costs.

This application note presents the real Schottky diodes as the best choice for lowest forward voltage drop. This document describes the low, medium and high voltage level applications, as well as ...

In the past few years, the research effort on 2D materials has rapidly increased, driven by the great variety of layered materials and their exceptional properties when reduced to a few atomic layers ...

As electronics approach the atomic scale, researchers are increasingly successful at developing atomically thin, virtually two-dimensional materials that could usher in the next generation of ...

This article will explore the key elements of power diode technology, drawing from a Nexperia webinar series. Commencing with an examination of the rectifier principles, we will scrutinize the primary ...
