A first-generation process head has been transferred to the project partner Photon Laser Manufacturing (PLM). It is mounted ...

The new Schottky barrier diode helps protect image sensors from damage, even when they're powered off, from sunlight.

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Japan have demonstrated that a long-elusive kind of laser diode based on organic semiconductors is indeed possible, paving the way for the further expansion of lasers ...

Built-in monitor photo diode enables system designers to optimize laser performance during environmental fluctuations. FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Opnext, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPXT - News), a global ...

Aselectronics miniaturization heads towards a theoretical physical limit in thetens of nanometers, new methods of manufacturing are required to producetransistors, diodes, and other fundamental ...

The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: thermionic ...

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

The SM74611 is a smart bypass diode used in photovoltaic applications. It serves the purpose of providing an alternate path for string current when parts of the panel are shaded during normal ...

As computing hardware gets smaller and smaller, engineers have worked hard to shrink the silicon used in the processors that power these mini machines. Engineering can only do so much, and we are ...
