The PN junction is one of the primary building blocks of semiconductors. A diode (one way valve) is a PN junction with p-type on one side and n-type on the other. When a positive voltage is ...

This image shows a state-of-the-art design of GaN p-n junction diodes that has resulted in near-unity ideality factor, avalanche breakdown capability, and record-breaking power performance.
