Diodes are essential semiconductor devices used to control the direction of electrical current in circuits. This tutorial explains how diodes work, their different types, and why they are critical ...

The devices made have a Schottky junction between the semiconductor and an aluminium conductor, and after some concerns about whether the silicon substrate is part of the circuit and even some ...

Integrating the Schottky diode into GaN transistor helps boost power-system efficiency by reducing dead-time losses.

It is the second course in the "Semiconductor Power Device" specialization that focusses on diodes, MOSFETs, and IGBTs but also covers legacy devices (BJTs, Thyristors and TRIACS) as well as ...

Medium-voltage CoolGaN G5 transistors from Infineon include a built-in Schottky diode to minimize dead-time losses and enhance system efficiency. The integrated diode also streamlines power stage ...

The high-performance SiC diodes are also notable for their lowest ... particularly in comparison to silicon Schottky devices. This reduction in heat dissipation also lowers cooling costs and ...

Nexperia has introduced a 10A 650V silicon carbide (SiC) industrial Schottky diode in a 2pin through-hole TO-220 plastic package. Called PSC1065K, the company is not making its full data sheet public ...
