Semiconductor Diodes
Forward-biased p-n junction diode
Chapter Outline
The concepts introduced in this chapter are:
- The p-n junction diode
- Current components, characteristics, biasing, equivalent circuit and applications of p-n junction diode
- Characteristics and applications of special diodes like varactor, Zener, tunnel, photodiode, and light emitting diode
The junction formed between the p-type and n-type materials, called, p-n junction diode, is very useful in the world of electronics. It is the first and foremost solid-state electronic device. There are various types of diodes with fine variations for a wide range of applications. ...
