Report

Semiconductor Devices - Overview

A semiconductor diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts primarily in one direction. A semiconductor diode is constructed from a single p-n junction. This p-n junction has a very high resistance to the flow of electrons in the reverse direction. This property is called rectification, and the diode is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).
