• A p-n junction is a two terminal polarity sensitive device that allows electric current in one direction and blocks the electric current in another direction. The diode conducts when a forward bias is applied and it does not conduct when a reverse bias is applied.• PN junction diode is made up of an N-type silicon semiconductor and P-type silicon semiconductor materials.
Applications of PN junction diode:
• Rectifiers: It is an electrical device which converts alternating current, AC to direct current, DC that flows in one direction. Half wave rectifier uses one PN junction and Full wave rectifier uses two PN junction.• PN junction diodes are used as switches in digital logic designs in computers.• These are used in clipping circuits for wave shaping in computers, radar, radios, etc• These are used in clamping circuits for DC restoration.• PN junction diodes are used in voltage multipliers.• PN junction diodes are used in detector and demodulation circuits.
