What if you were to swap out the mythical germanium diodes in a Klon Centaur overdrive pedal circuit and replace them with germanium transistors? Guitar effects pedal guru Robert Keeley asked that ...

Robert Keeley’s fingerprints are all over the Manis as the pedal boffin delivers a pedal that can serve faithful Klon tones, ...

Integrated circuits have evolved from simple microchips to complex, nanoscale marvels, driving advances in computing, ...

This paper describes new microwave techniques employing the properties of N-type germanium diode switches. For applications requiring very high isolations, multiple switches are added in tandem. With ...

A high-performance IMPATT diode test circuit has been developed which is very effective in reducing spurious oscillations. In this circuit, a 6-GHz germanium diode has been tested at 12.1-percent CW ...

Researchers from Kyoto Institute of Technology are claiming to have broken new ground by demonstrating the first vertical ...

Germanium photodetectors have emerged as key components in modern optoelectronics, offering an impressive combination of high responsivity, broad spectral sensitivity and compatibility with ...

Inorganic LEDs are light-emitting diodes (LEDs) made from a crystalline semiconductor. The optical emission wavelength can be selected by varying material composition. Example active regions ...

Schottky diodes are a type of diode that have a metal-semiconductor junction instead of a p-n junction. This means that they have a lower voltage drop across them when they are forward biased ...

Now researchers from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have demonstrated a vertical GaN PiN diode with a reverse blocking voltage (BV) higher than 1.7 kV after high-energy proton ...
