We found that the choice of nanorod passivation materials results in the variation of strain in the InGaN/GaN quantum …

Transient-voltage-suppression diode

TVS diode as array A transient-voltage-suppression diode may be either unidirectional or bidirectional. A unidirectional device operates as a rectifier in the forward direction like any other avalanche diode, but is made and tested to handle very large peak currents.

Resonant-tunneling diode

A resonant-tunneling diode (RTD) is a diode with a resonant-tunneling structure in which electrons can tunnel through some resonant states at certain energy levels. The current–voltage characteristic often exhibits negative differential resistance regions.All types of tunneling diodes make use of quantum mechanical tunneling. ...

State d differs from the typical on -to-off transition of a MOSFET in that a forward current is flowing through the body diode immediately prior to the transition. Therefore, the n-drift layer is saturated with hole and electron carriers (conductivity modulation).

OverviewElectroluminescenceRefractive indexEfficiency and operational parametersLifetime and failureQuantum-dot LEDsExternal links

The p–n junction in any direct band gap material emits light when electric current flows through it. This is electroluminescence. Electrons cross from the n-region and recombine with the holes existing in the p-region. Free electrons are in the conduction band of energy levels, while holes are in the valence energy band. Thus the energy level of the holes is lower than the energy levels of the electro…

Sources of Visible Light

All semiconductor diodes release some form of light, but most of the energy is absorbed into the diode material itself unless the device is specifically designed to release the photons externally. In addition, to be useful as a light source, diodes must concentrate

Band diagram

The vertical axis of the band diagram represents the energy of an electron, which includes both kinetic and potential energy. The horizontal axis represents position, often not being drawn to scale. Note that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle prevents the band diagram from being drawn with a high positional resolution, since the band diagram shows …
