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

A merged-structure device combining pn junction and Schottky operating modes in one diode addresses design challenges in single-phase boost converters while reducing component and system costs.

The interface at which p-type silicon and n-type silicon make contact with each other. At this coupling point, free electrons (n-type) and holes (p-type) cancel each other and form a "depletion zone" ...

NIJMEGEN, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nexperia, the former Standard Products division of NXP, today announced the launch of a wide range of PN and Trench Schottky rectifiers for power applications ...

A p-n junction is an interface or boundary between p-type and n-type semiconductor materials within a single semiconductor crystal. The positive (p) side contains excess holes, while the negative (n) ...

GeneSiC Semiconductor announces the immediate availability of a line of compact, high temperature SiC Junction Transistors as well as a line of rectifiers in TO-46 metal can packages. GeneSiC ...

Researchers recently observed negative refraction of electrons in graphene PN junctions. The creation of PN junctions in graphene is quite interesting, itself. Negative refraction isn’t a new idea. It ...
