p–n junctions represent the simplest case of a semiconductor electronic device; a p-n junction by itself, when connected on both sides to a circuit, is a diode. More complex circuit components can be created by further combinations of p-type and n-type semiconductors; for example, the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a semiconductor in ...
A PN-junction diode is formed when a p-type semiconductor is fused to an n-type semiconductor creating a potential barrier voltage across the diode junction. The PN junction diode consists of a p-region and n-region separated by a depletion region where charge is stored.
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.
By adding connections to each end of the P-type and the N-type materials we can produce a two terminal device called a PN Junction Diode which can be biased by an external voltage to either block or allow the flow of current through it.
p-n junction diode is a two-terminal semiconductor device that is used for allowing electric current in one direction. Learn more about how the pn junction diode works and its VI characteristics.
A PN junction diode is a two-terminal electronic device that is made up of a PN junction. It is the simplest form of semiconductor device and is used as a rectifier, voltage regulator, and switch in various electronic circuits.
A PN junction diode is a basic component in electronics. In this type of diode, one side of a semiconductor is doped with acceptor impurities (P-type) and the other side with donor impurities (N-type). This diode can be classified as either a ‘step graded’ or ‘linearly graded’ junction.
