The physicist William Shockley is perhaps today best known for three things: his role in the invention of the transistor, his calamitous management of Shockley Semiconductor which led to a mass ...

For power measurements in wireless telephony and high-speed data communication systems, the Schottky diode is the predominant choice. Current and voltage are indeed important, but power gives us a ...

Because of their compact size, higher efficiency, and superior performance in high-power applications, SiC MOSFETs are now replacing Si devices in switching applications. SiC devices enable faster ...

A varactor diode or varicap diode is a semiconductor diode that changes its junction capacitance significantly depending on the applied reverse bias voltage. Many semiconductor PN junction diodes are ...

Department of Physics and Technology, Institute of Applied Pedagogy, Bujumbura, Burundi. While several methods from those groups are analytical ones, numerical ...

Silicon carbide diodes are mostly Schottky diodes.The first commercial SiC Schottky diodes were introduced more than ten years ago. As wide bandgap semiconductor technologies become increasingly ...

Since December 2019, when coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) emerged in Wuhan city and rapidly spread throughout China, data have been needed on the clinical characteristics of the affected patients.

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 ...

Abstract: In this paper, the diode characteristics of our newly proposed super-steep subthreshold slope “PN-body tied (PNBT) silicon-on-insulator field-effect transistor” are presented, and compared ...
