When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of ...

The important specifications of diodes depend on the type of diode and its applications. In what follows we list the most important specifications for all types of diodes. Forward voltage (V F) is the ...

and a diode -- all in a single crystal. Unfortunately, they were so tricky to make that Shockley's company, Shockley Semiconductor, never managed to build any that were truly commercially viable.

Diode lasers (or laser diodes) are semiconductor lasers which use electrical power as an energy source and doped p-n junctions as a gain medium. As discussed in the Lasers Selection Guide, all lasers ...

Since the mid-1990s, nearly all research efforts aimed at developing blue and green semiconductor LEDs and laser diodes have shifted to using InGaN active materials. Significant and rapid progress ...

You will learn about semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, and the important rules for their analysis, planning, design, and implementation. You will also apply your knowledge through ...

ROHM’s automotive-grade SiC Schottky diodes feature new packaging that make them more resistant to creepage-induced leakage.
