The PN junction is one of the primary building blocks of semiconductors. Diodes and Thyristors A diode (one way valve) is a PN junction with p-type on one side and n-type on the other.

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 ...

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 junction creates a ...

Caption. 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.
