The study of Schottky barrier (SB) MOSFETs with metallic source and drain contacts is expanding as a result of recent developments in the semiconductor industry. Instead of the usual impurity-doped ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

Fifth-generation GeneSiC silicon carbide diodes from Navitas boast low forward voltage and ‘low built-in voltage biasing’ (‘low knee’) for high efficiency across all loads. GExxMPS06x series diodes ...

A new technical paper titled “Cryogenic-Aware Forward Body Biasing in Bulk CMOS” was published by researchers at QuTech, Tu Delft. “Cryogenic CMOS (cryo-CMOS) circuits are often hindered by the ...

PIN diodes are named for a region of undoped intrinsic semiconductor lying between their p and n-type material. This area eliminates capacitance effects between the n and p-type areas that can ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...
