A research team has developed high-performance diamond/ε-Ga 2 O 3 heterojunction pn diodes based on ultrawide bandgap semiconductors, achieving breakdown voltages exceeding 3 kV. This work was ...

This image shows a state-of-the-art design of GaN p-n junction diodes that has resulted in near-unity ideality factor, avalanche breakdown capability, and record-breaking power performance. Insets ...

This course is primarily aimed at first year graduate students interested in engineering or science, along with professionals with an interest in power electronics and semiconductor devices . It is ...

Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be the metal ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan are using high-power diode lasers to study the elementary particle structures of neutrons, electron scattering, and noble gas enhanced magnetic resonance ...

The thermal fuse and PN diode work well for overcurrent and reverse-battery connection protection, respectively, but have some unavoidable shortcomings. Alternatives based on low on-resistance MOSFETs ...
