Semiconductor Diodes - Learn About Electronics
semiconductors 1 E. COATES 2016 Semiconductor Diodes Module Diodes Introduction Diodes are one of the simplest, but most useful of all Semiconductor devices. Many types of diode are used for a wide range of applications. Rectifier Diodes are a vital component in power supplies where they are used to convert AC mains (line) voltage to DC. Zener Diodes are used for voltage stabilisation, preventing unwanted variations in DC supplies within a circuit, and to supply accurate reference voltages for many circuits.
Diodes are made from semiconductor materials, mainly silicon, with various compounds (combinations of more than one element) and metals added depending on the function of the diode. Early types of semiconductor diodes were made from Selenium and Germanium, but these diode types have been
