What is a diode composed of?
diode is made by joining a P and N type semiconductor materials
What is material made of a zener diode?
SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics
How diode work as semiconductor?
Diode is made of P and N type semiconductors having PN junction. The question is meanigless.
Is the banded end of a diode positive or negative?
The Banded end of diode represents Cathode.If you want the diode to be forward biased then the Cathode is made more negative than Anode.For reverse biasing of Diode (Zener Diode) The Cathode is kept positive.However the mail carrier of current in the Cathode is Electrons which are negative.
How depletion layer is formed?
When a diode is made (ie. NO current pass through the diode) then depletion layer is form between N & P.
What material is a diode made of?
A semiconductor diode is made of two semiconductore mterials type "p" and type "n" fused together, these two are connected to two leads, the all that is encased in epoxy.
A suitable diode for recitifying weak signals might be made of?
Germanium
What is a device made of semiconductor material that acts like a switch controlling the flow of electrons in a chip?
if a diode is in forward biased the diode acts as switch is on and when we apply the diode in reverse biased then it work as the switch as off.
What are the difference between Ge and Si diode?
the energy required to break covalent bond in si is 1.1ev and in ge is 0.7ev
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
If the dmm probes were forward biased across a silicon diode and a resistance reading of infinity was observed what conclusion could be made about the diode?
If you are testing in a ciruict it could be caused by almost anything (e.g. a capacitor). If you are testing the diode by itself then you probably have an open diode. Normally when testing foreward biased the diode should read .6 ohms and when testing reverse biased it should read 1.2k ohms. ...cont. Yeah if you're dead testing the diode with an ohmmeter and its giving you an infinite reading, you have a blown diode.
