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 is primarily aimed at first year graduate students interested in engineering or science, along with professionals with an interest in power electronics and semiconductor devices . It is ...

A South Korean research team has, for the first time, uncovered the molecular-level mechanism by which trace amounts of impurities—known as dopants—can reverse charge polarity in organic polymer ...

The varactor diode capitalizes on the properties of the depletion layer of a p-n diode. Under reverse bias, the carriers in each region-holes in the p type and electrons in the n type-move away from ...

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 ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

It is known that the p-n diode can be the basis of an accurate thermometer for cryogenic temperatures up to about 200°C. A constant current is maintained through the diode and the voltage across it ...

Researchers have now found a way to manufacture single-molecule diodes that can perform 50 times better than previous diode designs. In a study published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, ...
