Australian semiconductor developer BluGlass has successfully demonstrated working tunnel junction laser diodes in a world-first proof-of-concept using its proprietary remote plasma chemical vapour ...

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 ...

Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...

UNSW researchers have developed an intrinsic-adjusted single-diode model that explicitly accounts for radiative and Auger ...

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, between the n- region ...

There are 8 different types of diodes that are available for use in electronics design. The various types of diodes enable different kinds of application specifications to be met. As a result of the ...
