  • Types of LED

    Introduction LED is the semiconductor light source that emits light only in one direction when current flows through it, unlike the ordinary fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. This is the Light Emitting Diode, which is much more effective as they have the benefits of low power consumption, better illumination, and a longer lifespan. In electronic equipment…

  • Schottky Diode

    Introduction A diode is a component of an electric circuit and it allows the current to flow in only one direction. It is seen that the Schottky Diode is made of the use of a metal-semiconductor junction whereas the other diodes are made using a p-n junction. There are different advantages of this factor of…

  • Photodiodes applications

    Introduction Photodiodes are generally recognised as a semiconductor device that has the ability to absorb light energy in order to generate electric current. For this specific reason, such device often has different names like photo sensor or photo-detector. The main purpose of developing such an application is to use these in a reverse-bias condition. Based…
