- Estimated study time: 30 minutes
Study resources
- GeeksforGeeks - PN Junction Diode: Definition, Formation, Characteristics, Applications (Article) — Explains PN junction formation, depletion region, forward/reverse bias V-I characteristics and common applications like rectification.
- Neso Academy - Analog Electronics: Semiconductor Diode (Chapter 2) (Video) — Chapter 2 of the playlist covers PN junction formation, forward/reverse V-I characteristics, diffusion & transition capacitance, and static/dynamic resistance.
- Diode Capacitances and Equivalent Circuits - MRCET notes (Article) — Search the PDF for 'transition and diffusion capacitances'. It gives both capacitance expressions and the diode equivalent circuits, which the video courses tend to cover only briefly.
- Chapter 2: Semiconductor Diode - Neso Academy (Video) — Dedicated playlist for the PN junction diode: unbiased, forward and reverse bias, barrier potential, depletion width, V-I characteristics, effect of temperature, and DC (static) vs AC (dynamic) resis…
