A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

I n an idealized diode, no reverse current flows from cathode to anode when the device is reverse-biased. However, with real-world diodes, large amounts of stored charge can flow from the cathode—back ...

Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...

Research and Markets currently project that the global market for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries will reach US$91.8 billion by 2025; this will be driven by the use of the batteries in a wide range of ...
