DIODES Flashcards
1
Q
An ideal diode passes electricity in one direction but not the other
A
Diodes
2
Q
when we looked at light actuators
A
Light-emitting diodes
3
Q
uses the relatively constant reverse breakdown voltage to produce a voltage reference.
A
Zener diodes
4
Q
formed by the junctions between a layer of metal and semiconductor.
A
Schottky diodes
5
Q
high doping levels produce a very thin depletion layer which permits ‘tunnelling’ of charge carriers
A
Tunnel diodes
6
Q
a reversed -biased diode has two conducting regions separated by an insulating depletion region
A
Varactor diodes
