The four-layer diode, also known as a Shockley Diode, is a crystal made of alternating layers of N- and P- type semiconductors. By putting in four layers, instead of the three used in transistors ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of ...

Researchers from Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University and its Agency for Science, Technology and Research are ...

This second course provides a more detailed description of high-voltage Schottky and p-n diodes, starting with the semiconductor physics background needed to analyze both types of diodes. The main ...

This approach integrates p-type diamond with n-type ε-Ga 2 O 3 for fabricating power pn diodes. The heteroepitaxial n-type ε-Ga 2 O 3 film was grown on the p-type diamond single-crystal ...

If the signal is amplified, it is active. A special type of component is the integrated circuit (IC) where large numbers of transistors, resistors, diodes, and other electronic components are packaged ...

You will learn about semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, and the important rules for their analysis, planning, design, and implementation. You will also apply your knowledge through ...
