2. Diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode

   A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction (asymmetric conductance). It has low (ideally zero) ...

3. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

   A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes , releasing energy in the form of photons .

4. Zener diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_diode

   A Zener diode is a special type of diode designed to reliably allow current to flow "backwards" (inverted polarity) when a certain set reverse voltage, known as the Zener voltage, is reached. Zener diodes are manufactured with a great variety of Zener voltages and some are even variable.

5. Schottky diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schottky_diode

   The Schottky diode (named after the German physicist Walter H. Schottky), also known as Schottky barrier diode or hot-carrier diode, is a semiconductor diode formed by the junction of a semiconductor with a metal. It has a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.

6. p–n diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P–n_diode

   A p–n diode is a type of semiconductor diode based upon the p–n junction. The diode conducts current in only one direction, and it is made by joining a p-type semiconducting layer to an n-type semiconducting layer. Semiconductor diodes have multiple uses including rectification of alternating current to direct current, in the detection of ...

7. Is Diodes Earning Enough for You? - AOL

   Margins matter. The more Diodes (NAS: DIOD) keeps of each buck it earns in revenue, the more money it has to invest in growth, fund new strategic plans, or (gasp!) distribute to shareholders.
