INTRINTRINTRINTRINTRODUCTIONODUCTIONODUC TIONODUCTIONODUCTIONIt has already been discussed in the previous chapter that a pn junction conducts current easilywhen forward biased and practically no current flows when it is reverse biased. This unilateralconduction characteristic of pn junction ( Semiconductor Diode ) is similar to that of avacuum Diode .

Semiconductor Diode 77 6.1 Semiconductor Diode A pn junction is known as a semi-conductor or *crystal diode. The outstanding property of a crystal diode …
