PN junction breakdown characteristics

In this article, we are going to learn a little deep about break down characteristics of PN Junction Diode and how “reverse break down” characteristics is put into practical applications. Before getting into the details, lets have a walk through our previous articles. 1. Understanding the PN Junction – is a great article to begin […]

Semiconductor diode fabrication types

This blog post is continuation to the original post: Fabrication techniques of a P-N junction diode 1. Grown Junction Diode: Diodes of this type are formed during the crystal pulling process. P and N-type impurities can be alternately added to the molten semiconductor material in the crucible, which results in a P-N junction, as shown

Fabrication techniques of a P-N junction diode

General Introduction to Fabrication techniques of a P-N junction diode: In practice, the P-N junction is formed from a single mono crystalline structure by adding carefully controlled amounts of donor and acceptor impurities. Here discussion is limited only to acquaintation with the basic techniques and terminology (not expertise in fabrication). The first and foremost requirement is
