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 ...

Photodiode is a type of light detector capable of converting light energy into either current or voltage, depending upon the mode of operation. Photodiodes are similar to typical semiconductor diodes ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

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 ...

Description: A relatively broad, moderate-depth coverage of semiconductor devices and related topics. Semiconductor fundamentals required in the operational analysis of solid-state devices; detailed ...

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 ...

Single junction type (a) and the proposed double junction type (b) solar cells are compared with the conventional TANDEM type (c) and the proposed face-to-face type (d) multi-junction connections. A ...

Most PN-junction diodes can be used as photodiodes. While not optimized for this application, they do work. When the diode is reverse biased, it will produce a small photovoltaic output as the light ...
