Every student faces difficulty understanding the concept of Tunneling effect in the tunnel diode. Students are much confused about different types of diodes they encounter in their academics. We have already explained Photodiodes, Zener diode, Schottky Diode, LED etc. Now, we are going to explain about Tunnel diode, working operation, construction, and applications etc. What is…
Schottky diode is also known as the hot carrier diode is made up of semiconductor-metal junction rather than a p-n semiconductor junction. It is widely used for radio frequency, RF applications as a mixer or detector diode. In our previous articles, we explain about Zener Diode, Light emitting diode, Photodiode etc. In this article, we…
Photodiode operation is based on a mechanism known as the photoelectric effect, which creates electron-hole pair when a photon of sufficient energy strikes the diode.
Zener diode is a special kind of diode which permits the flow of current in the forward direction as well as in reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain voltage known as breakdown or Zener voltage. In our previous articles, we explain in detail about diodes, PN junction diode, semiconductors etc. In this…

Diode is an electronic device conduct current in one direction i.e. either in the forward direction or in the reverse direction. Today’s most commonly used diode is semiconductor diode. In our previous articles, we explain basic theory of semiconductors, P-n junction diode, and P-n junction diode characteristics etc. Here we are going to explain about Diodes…
An oscillator is an electronic device which provides the source of a repetitive alternating current signal across its output terminal without needing any input because signal generated is usually of constant amplitude. Common signals generated includes clock signals, sound signals produced by video games, electronic beepers and broadcast signals by television and radio transmitters. In…
JFET consist of the channel of semiconducting material through which a current flows. Jfet are of two types; one is n-channel JFET and another is p-channel JFET.
Fet is categorized into Jfet and Mosfet, both are quite similar in their operating principles and electrical properties. In our previous articles, we explain Fet transistors and its operation, pn junction diode characteristics in detail. Here we are going to explain you in detail about JFET , Mosfet and difference between them. JFET( Junction Field Effect…
Pn junction diode is one of the most basic diodes. It is used in the construction of transistors, FET, Gates and many other types of integrated circuits. These are the easiest and basic diodes available in and use PN junction characteristics like depletion layer, diffusion and drift current. We prefer to read our article on PN…
Pn junction diodes are a kind of basic diodes formed by using two types of extrinsic semiconductors i.e p-type and n-type semiconductors. So that these can show properties of both depending upon the biasing of the circuit. We have discussed semiconductors in detail with the Energy band diagram if you want to read about it’s…
