    Introduction to diode
    • Diodes are made from a single piece
    of Semiconductor material which has a
    positive “P-region” at one end and a negative
    “N-region” at the other, and which has a
    resistivity value somewhere between that of a
    conductor and an insulator.

    What is a semiconductor?

    • Semiconductors materials such as silicon (Si),


    germanium (Ge) and gallium arsenide (GaAs),
    have electrical properties somewhere in the
    middle, between those of a “conductor” and
    an “insulator”. They are not good conductors
    nor good insulators (hence their name “semi”-
    conductors).
    PN junction diode
    • A PN-junction is formed when an N-type
    material is fused together with a P-type
    material creating a semiconductor diode.
    Biasing of diode
    • Forward Bias – The voltage potential is connected positive, (+ve) to the P-
    type material and negative, (-ve) to the N-type material across the diode
    which has the effect of Decreasing the PN junction diodes width.
    • Reverse Bias – The voltage potential is connected negative, (-ve) to the P-
    type material and positive, (+ve) to the N-type material across the diode
    which has the effect of Increasing the PN junction diode’s width.
    Forward characteristics of diode
    • When a PN junction is Forward Biased, if P-side is
    connected to positive (+) and N- side is connected
    to negative (-) of the battery. It results in the
    depletion layer becoming very thin.
    Reverse Bias characteristics of diode
    • When a PN junction is reverse biased, if P-
    side is connected to negative (-) and N-side is
    connected to positive (+) of the battery it
    results in wide depletion region.
    V-I characteristics of PN junction diode
    Diode Approximations
    • Diode approximations describe the behavior of diode circuit which is useful in the analysis of the
    device.
    • Three different diode approximation are
    1. Ideal diode
    2. Practical diode
    3. Piecewise linear charqactrisitcs
    1st Approximation (Ideal diode)

    • Diode acts like a perfect switch with zero


    resistance.
