Schematic Diagram and Physical
Structure of Diode
• The lead connected to the P-types is called
anode.
• The lead connected to the N-types is called
Cathode.

Physics of a diode• When a diode is absent of a voltage source, the
protons and electrons are aligned in their proper
layers (as shown ) by default.
• A region exists between the P-Type and N-Type
layers called the depletion zone
•
The size of the depletion zone in a diode changesas voltage or the configuration of a circuit is
changed.
• The depletion zone has some very interesting
characteristics. Because it is made of a material
similar to the P-Type and N-Type material, it has"holes" that electrons fill in to prevent positive
charges from going through, thus preventing
current from flowing. There is only one way the
holes can be opened for positive charges to flow
through and current to be produced.The electron/proton activity in active state
and the electron/proton alignment inits insulating state.

Forward-Biased
• On the other hand, if the battery's polarity is
reversed and the positive end is connected to
the diode's positive end, the electrons in thediode will repel from the negative end and
free electrons will open the "holes" to allow
protons to enter the N-type region and
interact with the electrons.
• This interaction gives a forward-biased
behavior of the diode.
• The interaction creates current and in the
case of light emitting diodes, photons whichcreate light.
• In this "active" state, the depletion zone is at
its minimum size.
Positive end of the battery meets the
positive end (the anode) of the diode,
causing current flow..

Reverse-Biased
• As know, like charges repel and opposite
charges attract.
• Whenever a battery is connected to a diode in
a way such that the negative end is connected
to the P-Type (or anode) end of the diode,
charges will be driven to the edges of the
diode and the depletion zone is at its largest
size (above left).
• This configuration gives the diode a
behavior of what is called reverse-biased .
• Because no protons are able to flow through
the depletion zone, current does not flow in
this state.
Negative end of the battery meets
the negative end (the cathode) of
the diode, no current flow occurs.

Physics of a diode• The graph on the right shows represents
relationship of current over voltage in a zener
diode.
• This graph is similar to the basic junction diode
except the junction diode does not have the
current drop shown on the left side of the graph
(it remains zero).
• In most diodes the holes in the depletion layer
won't open until a specific amount of voltage has
been surpassed.
• Since silicon is the material most diodes are madeof, the voltage in most diodes at which the holes
can be opened and current be produced is
approximately 0.7V.

• The anode (positive end) isconnected to the negative end of
the battery.
• Charges in the diode layers areattracted to the outermost edges,
so the depletion zone is at itslargest, no current is flowing,and the diode is off.
• A voltage VD still exists in thediode even when a currentdoesn't. Because the orientationof the diode is opposite to the battery, the voltage going
through the diode is the negativevalue of the battery, or -5V.

• Anode is now connected to the positive end of the battery,
charges are interacting in thediode and current is flowingthrough.
•Since the voltage across a diodewhen current is going through it is0.7
• Since the current through thecircuit is uniform, the currentthrough the resistor, diode, andthe wires is:
I = V/R = (5V-0.7V)/(1000Ω)
= 4.3mA

Knee Voltage• In the forward region of the graph, the voltage
at which the current starts to increase quicklyis called the knee voltage of the diode.
• If the knee voltage is higher, the diodeconducts easily
• If the knee voltage is lower, the diodeconducts poorly
• (The knee voltage for a silicon diode isapproximately 0.7 volt and for a germaniumdiode 0.3 volt)

Forward Current
• If the value for forward-bias voltage increased,
the value of current will increase and theresistant of the joint will decrease
• The more the voltage, the less the resistant of
the joint, and the more of the current.
• The current is known as forward current(ID)(in miliAmpere scale).
• The decrease resistance is known as forwardresistance (RD).

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 15/61
Reverse Current• Electrons in N type material is attracted to the
+ve terminal of voltage supply (VS). This willcause the depletion region become larger(widen).
• The resistant become higher and known as
reverse resistant, RS.
• The current is known as reverse current (Is)(inmiliAmpere scale).
• Due to that, there is no electrons current flowacross the joint region.

Breakdown Voltage
• This limit is known as insulation
breakdown voltage.
• It can cause the P-N joint burn.
• To overcome this situation, the
maximum reverse-bias voltage
supplied to the P-N joint must not
exceed the insulation breakdown limit.

A Zener Diode is a special kind of diode which permits current to flow in the
forward direction as normal, but will also allow it to flow in the reverse
direction when the voltage is above a certain value - the breakdown voltage
known as the Zener voltage.

A zener diode can be used to make a simple voltage regulation circuit
8/13/2019 DIODE (Semiconductor Devices)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 22/61
The illustration above shows this phenomenon in a Current vs. Voltage
graph. With a zener diode connected in the forward direction, it behaves
exactly the same as a standard diode - i.e. a small voltage drop of 0.3 to
0.7V with current flowing through pretty much unrestricted. In the reversedirection however there is a very small leakage current between 0V and
the Zener voltage - i.e. just a tiny amount of current is able to flow. Then,
when the voltage reaches the breakdown voltage (Vz), suddenly current
can flow freely through it.

It made to afford issue reverse current that high value
without damaging diode.
In breakdown zener and after that voltage acrossdiode will still and equivalent with a zener voltage.
Zener diode may be made so that voltage zener

• Light emitting diodes, commonly called LEDs, are real
unsung heroes in the electronics world.
• Among other things, they form the numbers on digital clocks,
transmit information from remote controls, light up watches
and tell you when your appliances are turned on.
• Basically, LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an
electrical circuit.
• In the case of LEDs, the conductor material is typically
aluminum-gallium-arsenide (AlGaAs).

• Photodiodes are similar to regular semiconductor diodes except that they
may be either exposed (to detect vacuum UV or X-rays) or packaged with a
window or optical fiber connection to allow light to reach the sensitive part
of the device.
• Many diodes designed for use specifically as a photodiode will also use a
PIN junction rather than the typical junction.
• Photo diodes are semi conductor devices responsive to high energy
particles and photons.
• Photodiodes operate by absorption of charged particles and generate a flow
of current in an external circuit, proportional to the incident power.
• Photodiodes can be used to detect the presence or absence of minute
quantities of light and can be calibrated for extremely accurate
measurements from intensities below 1pW/cm2.

Laser Diode'laser diode', this generally refers to the combination of the semiconductor chip
that does the actual lasing along with a monitor photodiode chip (for used for
feedback control of power output) housed in a package (usually with 3 leads) that
looks like a metal can transistor with a window in the top. These are thenmounted and may be combined with driver circuitry and optics in a 'diode laser
module' or the common (red) laser pointer.
Diode lasers use nearly microscopic chips of Gallium-Arsenide or other exotic
semiconductors to generate coherent light in a very small package.
The energy level differences between the conduction and valence band electrons
in these semiconductors are what provide the mechanism for laser action.
Fortunately, laser diodes are now quite inexpensive (with prices dropping as you
read this) and widely available.
The active element is a solid state device not all that different from an LED.

• The value of an AC voltage is continually changing from zero
up to the positive peak, through zero to the negative peak and
back to zero again. Clearly for most of the time it is less than
the peak voltage, so this is not a good measure of its real effect.
Instead we use the root mean square voltage (VRMS) which
is 0.7 of the peak voltage (Vpeak):
Difference between RMS value and Peak value
VRMS = 0.707× Vpeak and
Vpeak = 1.4 14× VRMS
These equations also apply to current.
The RMS value is the effective value of a varying voltage or current. It is the
equivalent steady DC (constant) value which gives the same effect.

8/13/2019 DIODE (Semiconductor Devices)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 54/61
HALF WAVE RECTIFIER
In half wave rectification, either the positive or negative half ofthe AC wave is passed, while the other half is blocked.
Because only one half of the input waveform reaches the output,
it is very inefficient if used for power transfer.
Half-wave rectification can be achieved with a single diode in a
one phase supply, or with three diodes in a three-phase supply.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 55/61
OPERATION
During positive cycle entry signal, diode D in forward biased.
D act as closed switch so current can go through it.
Voltage fall in RL is equal positive cycle magnitude entry signal if we neglect
voltage fall in diode.
During negative cycle entry signal, D diode in reverse biased.
D act as open switch so current cant go through it.
Voltage fall in RL is zero.
Output voltage in positive cycle is Vout = Vin – 0.7V(Si)
Signal output frequency is equal with input frequency
FULL WAVE RECTIFIER
8/13/2019 DIODE (Semiconductor Devices)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 56/61
FULL WAVE RECTIFIER
• A f ull-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant
polarity (positive or negative) at its output.
• Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input waveform to DC (direct
current), and is more efficient.
• However, in a circuit with a non-center tapped transformer, four diodes are required
instead of the one needed for half-wave rectification. This has some disadvantages that
we will see later on. Four rectifiers arranged this way are called a diode bridge or bridge
rectifier:
OPERATION
8/13/2019 DIODE (Semiconductor Devices)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 57/61
OPERATION
• When voltage AC will given in circuit, M and N at transformer secondary will be positive
and negative in rotation. When input voltage positive cycle were given, terminal M will be
positive and N will be negative. Diode D1 be forward biased therefore diode D2 be reverse biased. Current will through from M, E, A, B, C, F N. 1 positive cycle were be appeare at
load RL.
• Output voltage in positive cycle is Vout = VM-N – 1.4V(Si)
• Signal output frequency is 2x with signal input frequency
:
RECTIFIER
8/13/2019 DIODE (Semiconductor Devices)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 58/61
RECTIFIER
• There are several ways of connecting diodes to make a rectifier to
convert AC to DC. The bridge rectifier is the most important and it produces full-wave varying DC.
• A full-wave rectifier can also be made from just two diodes if a
centre-tap transformer is used, but this method is rarely used nowthat diodes are cheaper. A single diode can be used as a rectifier
but it only uses the positive (+) parts of the AC wave to produce
half-wave varying DC.
Bridge rectifier
8/13/2019 DIODE (Semiconductor Devices)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 59/61
Bridge rectifier
• A bridge rectifier can be made using four individual diodes, but it is also
available in special packages containing the four diodes required. It is called a
full-wave rectifier because it uses all the AC wave (both positive and negative
sections). 1.4V is used up in the bridge rectifier because each diode uses 0.7V
when conducting and there are always two diodes conducting, as shown in the
diagram below. Bridge rectifiers are rated by the maximum current they can
pass and the maximum reverse voltage.
Alternate pairs of diodes conduct, changing over
the connections so the alternating directions of
AC are converted to the one direction of DC.
Single diode rectifier
8/13/2019 DIODE (Semiconductor Devices)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/diode-semiconductor-devices 60/61
Single diode rectifier
• A single diode can be used as a rectifier but this produces half-wave varying
DC which has gaps when the AC is negative. It is hard to smooth this
sufficiently well to supply electronic circuits unless they require a very small
current so the smoothing capacitor does not significantly discharge during the
gaps.
Output: half-wave varying DC
(using only half the AC wave)
