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

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have created the first functional pn diodes using Ga 2 O 3. Their method 'P-type ...

Solids can be categorised into conductors, semiconductors or insulators by their ability to conduct electricity. Electron band theory explains differences in conduction. Semiconductors can be doped ...

A research team has developed high-performance diamond/ε-Ga 2 O 3 heterojunction pn diodes based on ultrawide bandgap semiconductors, achieving breakdown voltages exceeding 3 kV. This work was ...

Diode makes software to design printed circuit boards, which are used in most electronics. The startup raised $11.4 million in Series A funding led by A16z. Diode aims to work with robotics, medical ...
