About this document
Overview of Diode Types and Characteristics by Saurabh Mittal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A diode is the simplest semiconductor device, allowing current to flow in only one direction. It has two terminals, an anode and cathode. Diodes are used for rectification in power supplies and protection circuits. A basic diode is constructed by doping p-type and n-type layers on a silicon or germanium wafer to form a p-n junction. There are many types of diodes for different applications.
