PIN diodes are three-layer semiconductor diodes consisting of an intrinsic layer separating heavily doped P and N layers. The charge stored in the intrinsic layer in conjunction with other diode ...

How? Again, PIN diodes. These interesting little components allow us to do switching at RF, IF, and audio frequencies without routing the signals themselves all over the cabinet. This chapter shows ...

The secret sauce is in component selection and tuning. Opengeiger uses the BPW34 diode because it is relatively common and has a large surface area, but also because it has a very low capacitance ...

USTC team reports 2 kV/0.45 mΩ·cm 2 PiN diode with surge energy density of 282 J/cm 2 Researchers from University of Science ...

In essence, the four-layer diode was the first integrated circuit since it did the work of two transistors, two resistors, and a diode -- all in a single crystal. Unfortunately, they were so ...
