Dear Student:
This presentation is arranged in segments. Each segmentis preceded by a Concept Preview slide and is followed by aConcept Review slide. When you reach a Concept Reviewslide, you can return to the beginning of that segment byclicking on the Repeat Segment button. This will allow youto view that segment again, if you want to.

Concept Preview• Diodes have both P-regions and N-regions. The
boundaries are called junctions.• The P-region is the anode side. The N-region is
the cathode side.• There are three possible bias conditions: zero,
forward, and reverse.• Zero bias is accompanied by a depletion region.• Forward bias can collapse the depletion region.• Reverse bias enhances the depletion region.• Bias determines if diodes will be off or on.

Zero Bias
Depletion region
The electrons near the junction cross over and fill the holes near the junction.
Having no carriers, the depletion region is an insulator.

Forward Bias
The carriers move toward the junctionand collapse the depletion region.
The diode is on (conducting).

Concept Preview• The volt-ampere graph for a resistor is a straight
line (a resistor is a linear device).• The volt-ampere graph for a diode is non-linear.• The knee voltage for a silicon diode is
approximately 0.7 volts. This is the voltage required to collapse the depletion region.
• Excess reverse bias will result in diode breakdown.
• The cathode end might be marked with a band.• Diodes can be tested with an ohmmeter.

Linearity
• The volt-ampere characteristic curve for a resistor is a straight line (linear).
• A diode has a non-linear characteristic curve.
• The barrier potential produces a knee in the diode curve.
• The knee voltage is approximately 0.6 to 0.7 volts for silicon diodes.

Silicon diode ohmmeter testing
• Low resistance in both directions: the diode is shorted.
• High resistance in both directions: the diode is open.
• Relatively low resistance in the reverse direction: the diode is leaky.
• The ratio of reverse resistance to forward resistance is > 1000: the diode is good.
