When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

The diode showed no resistance in the forward direction, normal resistance in the backward direction, and it worked with zero applied magnetic field. The research to date has been done at extremely ...

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing ...

The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...

The 100 V Gen 2 TMBS rectifier modules from Vishay Intertechnology are fully insulated devices in a compact SOT-227 package ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley wanted ...
