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 ...

A brief introduction to solid-state physics, leading to discussion of physical characteristics of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and field-effect transistors: active, saturated, ...

In this module, you will learn how to analyze a p-n diode and how it differs from a Schottky diode. Specific items of interest are: a) The capacitance versus voltage relation, b) The diode current, ...

2nd course in the Semiconductor Devices SpecializationInstructor: Wounjhang Park, Ph.D., ProfessorThis course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts ...

What you'll learn: Details about avalanche and flyback-type converters. MOSFETs and linear mode. In Part 1, we discussed the body diode, which is a PN junction diode that lies inside of the MOSFET ...

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 ...

A p-n junction diode can be forward or reverse bias. LEDs are forward bias diodes that produce photons of light. Solar cells are p-n junctions that absorb photons, giving electrons enough energy ...
