Figure 4 shows the top view of the SAPIN and a simplified cross-section drawing of the SAPIN diode. 1 As a normal PIN diode, the device has a p+ anode, undoped i-region, and an n+ cathode connection.

Schematic Diagram of a P-N Junction Diode: The diagram illustrates the basic structure of a p-n junction diode with p-type silicon on one side, n-type silicon on the other, and the anode and cathode ...

Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be ...

The silicon-on-insulator lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT) exhibits an enormous turn-off time because of a long current tail and a degraded breakdown voltage owing to the gain of the ...

When we forward bias the anode and cathode i.e. anode and cathode connected to the positive and negative terminals of a battery, the first PN junction and last PN junction (j1 and j3 ) become forward ...

When an electron beam is generated from a cathode, an electrode sheath plasma is also generated. Hence, the perveance of the diode is varied and changes the diode output characteristics. In our pulsed ...

Diodes are sometimes called rectifiers because they change alternating current (AC) into pulsating direct current (DC). Diodes are rated according to the voltage, kind, and current they can handle. A ...
