Usually, the diodes are based on the P-N junction. Therefore, the integrated-circuit structure of the P-N junction capacitor, shown in Fig. 2.3, represents at the same time the integrated-circuit ...

showing the direction of conventional current flow when the diode is forward biased. (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) When a positive voltage is applied to the p-type side and a negative voltage ...

A diode (one way valve) is a PN junction with p-type on one side and n-type on the other. When a positive voltage is applied to the p-type side (forward bias), it shrinks and overcomes the ...

forward and reverse biased conditions of a p–n junction and the corresponding energy band pictures and the wide variety of diodes that can be constructed using the p–n junction. Fabrication of p–n ...

For this reason the diode is commonly referred to as a PN Junction. When an applied voltage forces the diode to conduct electrons from the anode to the cathode it is operating in a forward bias ...
