In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backwa… ...

Their research paper 'A three-terminal light emitting and detecting diode' was published in April 2024 in Nature Electronics. The approach enables the modulation of carrier behaviour through an ...

In this paper, a novel CMOS single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) is presented, and the device is designed using a vertical p-i-n diode construction. The p-i-n diode with a wide depletion region ...

However, diodes come in different types and can be configured in several ways to meet the requirements of an application. Understanding how diodes work Diodes can be represented in an electric circuit ...

HVPE yields vertical GaN p-n diodes Friday 7th January 2022 A new approach for magnesium-doping enables the continuous growth of vertical GaN p-n diodes by HVPE Engineers at Nagoya University, Japan, ...

We introduce a novel high-voltage SiC p-i-n diode considering a charge plasma approach. This technique facilitates the formation of the anode and the cathode regions within the silicon carbide without ...

Traditional components include Schottky diodes, which, when compared with silicon p-n diodes, offer lower forward voltages.

This study used a spatially controlled boron-doping technique that enables a p–n junction diode to be realized within a single 2D black phosphorus (BP) nanosheet for high-performance photovoltaic ...
