Diodes: the shortest Hackaday article ever ... instead of the super-reliable planar silicon transistors we are used to today. The early 1950s designer had to work with germanium point-contact ...

One is laid bare by [WizardTim], as he cross-sections a 20KV high-voltage diode. A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum ...

MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has announced the launch of 16 new 650 V and 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes, designed for high-frequency applications where ...

Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the periodic table and has similar properties, might make a better gadget. But, they said, no one should expect a silicon transistor for years.

The semiconductor light-emitting diode, or LED, is a key component of ... blue LEDs reinvented at the start of the 1990s used silicon carbide. Losev was the first to understand the potential ...

The SiC Schottky diode in a TO-247-2 package simplifies design transitions, reduces component count, and enhances system ...

The concept behind an integrated chip is relatively simple: an entire electrical circuit with numerous transistors, wires, and other electrical devices all built into a single square of silicon.

The diode family perfectly matches the CoolSiC MOSFETs 2000V in the TO-247Plus-4 HCC package, which the company launched in the spring of 2024. In addition to the TO-247-2 package, the diode is also ...

Thermal diodes provide a useful means for monitoring junction temperature ... It also forms the foundation of the new Synopsys Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) platform. SLM enables new levels of ...
