This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, ...

For the standard junction diode, there are two operating regions and three possible biasing conditions. There is no external potential energy applied to the P-N junction when a diode is connected in a ...

The interface at which p-type silicon and n-type silicon make contact with each other. At this coupling point, free electrons (n-type) and holes (p-type) cancel each other and form a "depletion zone" ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

CHICAGO — A diode measuring just 2.5 nanometers was recently demonstrated by University of Chicago professor Luping Yu, who called it the world's smallest. The operation of the polymer-based p-n ...

A p-n junction is an interface or boundary between p-type and n-type semiconductor materials within a single semiconductor crystal. The positive (p) side contains excess holes, while the negative (n) ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.
