The important specifications of diodes depend on the type of diode and its applications. In what follows we list the most important specifications for all types of diodes. Forward voltage (V F) is the ...

This second course provides a more detailed description of high-voltage Schottky and p-n diodes, starting with the semiconductor physics background needed to analyze both types of diodes. The main ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

As the voltage is increased, the current decreases. This feature makes tunneling diodes especially useful in oscillators and radio frequency (RF) applications. There are two basic types of tunnel ...
