uni junction transistor
Unijunction transistor(UJT)
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.
A: a semiconductor conducts one way only
The Anode. Think of the arrow like a Capital Letter A standing for the Anode.
The primary difference is that a semiconductor diode is a diode with a p-n junction, and a light-emitting diode is a special case or special type of semiconductor diode that emits light when it is forward biased.
Very large scale integration means including large number of electronic components like diodes, resistors, transistors, op-amps on a single semiconductor chip

acts like a normal diode in forward biased condition
A diode is semiconductor device which is used in a lot of application in electronics equipment.it is negative temp. coefficient device i.e. at lower temp. it is behave like a insulator and high temp. it is work like a good conductor. Basically a diode is used to convert an alternating current into direct current in form of a rectifier. There are many types of diode used in today day to day life depends upon their application. 1 crystal diode 2 photo diode 3zener diode are some of the most useful diode.

A light emitting diode is a special type of diode made of transparent semiconductor (silicon & germanium are opaque) like aluminum indium gallium phosphide. The selected semiconductor must also have a large enough band gap that when electrons fall into holes photons are emitted.
when a semiconductor is doped with p-type and n-type impurities, a pn junction is formed which acts as a diode and prevents the charge carriers to flow to either side of junctionpn juction diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow only to one direction.
An ordinary semiconductor diode uses a P-N junction, but when reverse biased it takes a period of time to remove the current carriers from that junction to create the depletion region that blocks reverse conduction. A Shockley diode instead uses a P semiconductor-metal junction, which removes the current carriers much faster from the semiconductor allowing the device to switch much faster. It also has a much lower forward bias voltage than an ordinary diode. In many ways it is similar to the previous point contact diodes (a piece of semiconductor like galena or germanium with a metal "cat's whisker" point contact) in operation, but is more reliable and easier to mass produce.

Like a normal diode............. unless it includes a "back biased" diode to prevent conduction in this mode as is common in zener diodes rated at about 10 volts or more, then it acts as an open circuit.
A PN junction diode is a non-linear component and it consists of two junctions namely P-junction & N-junction where the majority and minority charge carriers are present like electrons and holes. It is also known as a semiconductor diode or PN junction diode. This diode includes two terminals namely anode and cathode, where a p-type semiconductor is an anode (positive voltage) and N-type semiconductors are cathode (negative voltage). The flow of current in the diode is in one direction only because it opposes in another direction with high resistance.
