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 ...

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 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 ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, ...

Figure 1: WSe 2 monolayer device with split gate electrodes. For the future, we envision low-cost, flexible and semi-transparent solar cells that could be deployed on glass facades or other surfaces ...

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).

The H-Series family of Si diode rectifiers target power supply manufacturers and high-performance systems. The 600-V PFC rectifiers have a reverse-recovery charge (QRR) from 5.9 to 9.8 nC at 25°C and ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Ideal diodes and ORing controllers offer space-saving, scalable solutions to protect a system against reverse voltage or reverse current. They reduce the energy lost ...

Scientists working at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) claim to have created a molecule-sized electronic component just a few nanometers long that conducts electricity ...
