It can be either a junction or point contact diode built with semiconductor material. there are many types depending on intended usage.

  • junction diode is produced as described in its name by forming a junction in the semiconductor by using opposite types of dopant impurities.
  • point contact diode is produced as described in its name by taking a semiconductor base and pressing a sharp metal point on its surface.

A few of the types of semiconductor diodes are: small signal, power rectifier, zener, tunnel, gunn, etc.

What is semiconductor diote?

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.
