When the diode is forward biased and conducting electricity it will pass through any variations in the voltage being put into them, but when it is reverse biased and not conducting any electricity ...

When the applied potential does not allow for a sharp increase in current and only a minimal amount, practically zero, of current is observed across the junction, the diode is said to be in a reverse ...

Diodes are used for a number of different applications, the most frequently being signal rectification, voltage clamping, reference-voltage circuits, light emitters, photodetectors, and solar cells.

forward and reverse biased conditions of a p–n junction and the corresponding energy band pictures and the wide variety of diodes that can be constructed using the p–n junction. Fabrication of p–n ...

When the diode is forward biased and conducting electricity it will pass through any variations in the voltage being put into them, but when it is reverse biased and not conducting any electricity ...

When a positive voltage is applied to the p-type side (forward bias), it shrinks and ... voltage is applied to the p-type of the diode (reverse bias), it increases the depletion zone and prevents ...

The course describes the physics of operation of several semiconductor devices including p-n junction diodes (forward/reverse bias, avalanche breakdown), MOSFETs (including the calculation of MOSFFET ...
