Abstract |
A p-n junction diode is two terminal or two electrode semiconductor device, which allows the electric current in only one direction while blocks the electric current in opposite or reverse direction. If the diode is forward biased, it allows the electric current flow. On the other hand, if the diode is reverse biased, it blocks the electric current flow. PN junction is a significant building block and it is one among the indispensable structures offered by the semiconductor technology in electronics. However, unlike a resistor, a diode does not behave linearly with respect to the applied voltage as the diode has an exponential current-voltage relationship. |
