Types of Diodes
Download "Chapter II : Diodes" (PDF:895KB)
Diodes are two-terminal semiconductor devices with a pn junction or an alternative junction. Table 2-1 shows an example of classification of diodes. They are classified into rectifier diodes, Zener diodes, etc. by structure and usage. Diodes are widely used.
Diodes are sometimes classified not only as in the above figure, but also by usage.
