- See also changes related to Semiconductor diode, or pages that link to Semiconductor diode or to this page or whose text contains "Semiconductor diode".
Parent topics
- Semiconductor [r]: A substance (usually a solid) with electrical conductivity intermediate between metals and insulators. [e]
Subtopics
- Light-emitting diode or LED [r]: Rectifying semiconductor diode that converts electric energy into electromagnetic radiation at a visible and near infrared frequencies when its pn junction is forward biased. [e]
- Electronic band structure [r]: The very closely spaced energy levels available to electrons in solids, which are separated from each other by energy gaps. [e]
- MOSFET [r]: A type of field-effect transistor with four electrical contacts and three layers: a metal top layer (connected to the gate contact),separated by an insulating layer (usually an oxide layer) from a semiconductor layer (connected to the body contact). The gate voltage switches "on" and "off" the electrical connection between a source and drain contact at the semiconductor surface. [e]
