PIN Diode Working Principle

The pin diode consists of heavily doped p and n regions separated by an intrinsic (i) region, as shown in Figure

A tunnel diode or Esaki diode is a type of semiconductor that is capable of very fast operation, well into

Silicon diode: Use of P-doped silicon and N-doped silicon to make a P-N junction that causes the blocking effect Schokky

A laser diode, or LD also known as injection laser diode or ILD, is an electrically pumped semiconductor laser in

The photodiode is a device that operates in reverse bias, as shown in Figure. where Ia is the reverse light

The junction capacitance of diodes varies with the amount of reverse bias. Varactor diodes are specially designed to take advantage of

Zener diodes can be used in ac applications to limit voltage swings to desired levels. Below Figures shows three basic ways

The zener diode can be used as a type of voltage regulator for providing stable reference voltages. In this section, you

The symbol for a zener diode is shown in Below Figure. Instead of a straight line representing the cathode, the zener

The device which operates at above 30V is called an electrical device and the device which operates with less than
