Will a zener diode work the same as a germanium diode?
No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.
What are the characteristics of a Gunn diode?
characteristics if gunn diode
How much voltage is there across a silicon diode when it is forward biased?
0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.
What is the voltage drop in diode IN4007?
forward drop is the same as any other silicon diode, about 0.7V
What is power diode generally made from?
As that of most power devices power diode are maid from silicon material(because of its wide band gap) . but now days alloy of silicon are used like sic(silicon carbide) by ank
What is material made of a zener diode?
SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics
Compare the characteristics of a silicon and germanium diode?
Potential barrier of silicon is 0.7, whereas potential barrier of germanium is 0.3
Will a zener diode work the same as a germanium diode?
No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.
What parameter in a germanium diode differs from those in a silicon diode?
A germanium diode has a lower forward voltage drop compared to a silicon diode, typically around 0.3V for germanium and 0.7V for silicon. Germanium diodes also have a higher reverse current leakage compared to silicon diodes.
What are the characteristics of a Gunn diode?
characteristics if gunn diode
A silicon avalanche photo diode is fabricated by what process?
A silicon avalanche photo diode is fabricated by the process called impact ionization.
What is the definition of silicon diode?
A silicon diode is a tiny electronic component having two terminals, usually a switch or limiting device.
What will be the result if silicon diode is replaced by the germinium diode?
The built is voltage would be lower than silicon diode,more leakage or reverse saturation current,poor thermal stability,high noise and greater conduction in comparison to silicon diodes.
Is 1N4007 OA79 silicon or germanium diode?
The entire 1N40xx series of power diodes are all silicon. The OA79 small signal diode is germanium.
What is the cutting voltage of a silicon diode?
It is not 'Cutting voltage' but it is Cut-in voltage'. It is the voltage at which the diode turns ON. For silicon it is 0.7v. After reaching 0.7V diode current starts increasing rapidly for little increase in voltage.
What is the difference between a germanium diode and a silicon diode?
the cut in vol for silicon diode is 0.7 where as germaium is around 0.3 because of their construction( the ratio of majority n minority carreirs)
Reverse characteristics graph of pn junction diode?
what is the difference between reverse characteristics of zener diode and a practical diode ?
