definition for p-n junction diode, schottky diode, zener diode, tunnel diode
Answers
p-n junction diode;
The PN junction diode is a two terminal device, which is formed when one side of the PN junction diode is made with p-type and doped with the N-type material.
zener diode:
A Zener diode is a particular type of diode that, unlike a normal one, allows current to flow not only from its anode to its cathode, but also in the reverse direction, when the Zener voltage is reached. Zener diodes have a highly doped p-n junction.
tunnel diode:
A tunnel diode is a type of semiconductor diode that has negative resistance due to the quantum mechanical effect called tunneling
schottky diode:
The Schottky diode, also known as Schottky barrier diode , is a semiconductor diode formed by the junction of a semiconductor with a metal. It has a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.
