forward drop, reverse breakdown voltage, power rating. hope that's what you wanted.
it converts it to a diode. sometimes this is done for matching the characteristics of diodes and transistors in the circuit. standard diodes might not have similar enough curves to the transistors for the circuit to operate correctly.
Zero current flow when reverse biased, zero voltage drop when forward biased.
Simple diode is a two-terminal pn-junction with appropriate contacts for connecting the junction to external circuits. Power diode is formed by alloying, diffusion, and epitaxial growth. The modern techniques in semiconductor fabrication processes permit the desired device characteristics. The operation of power diodes is similar to that of signal diodes; but it has larger power-, voltage-, and current-handling capabilities than those of ordinary diodes. Switching speed of the power diodes is low compared to that of signal diodes.
A: Actually a transistor have two diode with the base mas a common terminal. the characteristics of these tow diodes however are not the same as a common diode
Connecting diodes in series:Connecting diodes in series will increase the forward voltage of the resultant diode.Connecting diodes in series will cause an open circuit until peak inverse voltage (smallest diode) is applied on total resultant.Connecting diodes in parallel:Connecting diodes in parallel will increase the current carrying capacity of the diode.Connecting diodes in parallel will not get you a resultant diode conduction in both sides.

You cannot build a transistor with two diodes. Even though the static junction characteristics of a transistor "looks like" two back to back series diodes, there is a relationship between the two junctions that cannot be matched by just connecting two diodes together.

Though germanium diodes were the first ones fabricated, several factors make silicon the choice vs. germanium diodes. Silicon diodes have a greater ease of processing, lower cost, greater power handling, less leakage and more stable temperature characteristics than germanium diodes. Germanium diodes' lower forward drop (.2V to .3V versus .7V to 1.0V) make them better at small signal detection and rectification.
There are so many different types of diodes. Some of the common examples include light emitting diodes, silicon diodes, zener diodes and so many more.
No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
The Diodes was created in 1977.
The Diodes ended in 1982.

a diode is a device that alows current to flow in one direction you have power diodes which are used in rectification processes and high current operations but the two main families of diodes are solid state diodes or valve operated diodes.
