Schottky Diode working, construction, characteristics and Applications

Schottky Diode working, construction, characteristics and Applications

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…

Diode: Types, operation and Symbols [Guide]

Diode: Types, operation and Symbols [Guide]

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…

Semiconductor Basics and Energy Band Theory

Semiconductor Basics and Energy Band Theory

Semiconductors are the backbone of electronics components. They are used more than conductors and find applications in every circuit. Be it a most commonly used multimeter or a device using rectifiers, transistors, voltage regulators, or anything in its circuit. You also have heard about them in physics and chemistry in your academics.  But you don’t…
