They have none of the special skills you’d find in tunnel, Gunn, varicap, Zener, and avalanche diodes, or even LEDs, instead they are simply a one-way valve for electrical current.

As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful si… ...

The four-layer diode, therefore, could be used to replace both the rectifiers and transistors necessary to connect long distance phone calls.

Gaining access to the STALKER 2 Diode’s Workshop in The Price Goes Up story mission won’t require a keycard, as you’ll need to find a different way to get in. Unfortunately, Diode’s ...

Here are a number of alternative ways to avoid problems when driving Varactor Diodes. Varactor (or “varicap”) diodes are used primarily in radio-frequency (RF) circuits to provide a ...

Fifty years after the invention of the laser diode, and forty years after the butterfly effect signified the unpredictability of deterministic chaos, it is commonly believed that a laser diode ...

The S1 from xTool is something a little different. It's a diode laser with a large enclosure and a powerful 40-watt laser that can cut and etch just about anything you need, with a few caveats.

2nd course in the Semiconductor Devices Specialization Instructor: Wounjhang Park, Ph.D., Professor This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor ...
