The Shockley diode equation for example really only works well for epitaxial silicon diodes and even then only within certain bounds. For linearly graded diodes or Schottky diodes, which operate on the physical principles underlying thermionic emission, its accuracy breaks down considerably.
1 day ago · Silicon is a chemical element; it has symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a hard, brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic luster, and is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium are below it. It is relatively unreactive.

4 days ago · It is a metalloid in the carbon group that is chemically similar to its group neighbors silicon and tin. Like silicon, germanium naturally reacts and forms complexes with oxygen in nature. Because it seldom appears in high concentration, germanium was found comparatively late in the discovery of the elements.

5 days ago · Theory: The diode limiter also called Clipper as it is used to limit the input voltage. A basic diode limiter circuit is composed of a diode and a resistor. Depending upon the circuit configuration and bias, the circuit may clip or eliminate all or part of an input waveform.
3 days ago · A DC-DC converter is an electro-mechanical device or circuit that transforms a DC voltage from one level to another according to the needs of the circuit. The DC-DC converter, which falls under the category of electric power converters, can be used for both low voltage applications, such as batteries, and high voltage applications, such as HV ...
4 days ago · A clamper is an electronic circuit that prevents a signal from exceeding a certain defined magnitude by shifting its DC value. The clamper does not restrict the peak-to-peak excursion of the signal, but moves it up or down by a fixed value. A diode clamp
4 days ago · A diode, in electronics, is a two terminal electronic component with an asymmetric transfer characteristics, with low resistance to current flow in one direction and high resistance to current flow in the other direction.
