Resolving a long-standing problem in semiconductor physics and optoelectronics, a team of researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF ...

The new super junction MOSFET meets the high efficiency and power density demands in solar inverter systems. Modern mid- to high-power switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and solar inverter ...

Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity—a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to flow without energy ...

This video explains what a diode is and how it controls the direction of current in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for rectification, ...

Abstract: A method is proposed for determination of the pulse-to-pulse variation in junction temperature and emission wavelength of a semiconductor laser diode during a train of pulses. This approach, ...

Nanopores are nanometer-sized openings that enable detailed analysis of molecular structures by analyzing individual biomolecules as they pass through. Solid-state nanopores integrated with local ...

Amidst the advances in CMOS and wide bandgap semiconductor technology, you can easily forget that the first transistor invented by William Shockley in 1949 was a bipolar junction transistor (BJT).

Diodes are fundamental building blocks in electronics, playing a vital role in controlling current flow, protecting circuits and enabling various functionalities. Because of their one-direction ...

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...
