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 metal ...

(Nanowerk News) The Energy, Electron, Plasma and Plasmonic (EEPP) Group led by Prof. Ricky Ang at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) says that it has uncovered the underlying ...

Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...

A p-n junction is an interface or boundary between p-type and n-type semiconductor materials within a single semiconductor crystal. The positive (p) side contains excess holes, while the negative (n) ...

This course is primarily aimed at first year graduate students interested in engineering or science, along with professionals with an interest in power electronics and semiconductor devices . It is ...

Control of recombination features in the layers of the semiconductor element is considered to be one of the most effective methods of increasing performance and many other characteristics of power ...

The photoelectrochemical splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen requires a semiconductor to absorb light and generate electron–hole pairs, and a catalyst to enhance the kinetics of electron ...
