Any PN junction diode can be used as a variable capacitor in reverse biased mode, as well as in the forward biased mode before the knee voltage. The capacitance is usually very small as the junction ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

Abstract: This letter presents a novel rectifier assisted by a self-bias junction capacitance compensation (JCC) for high-efficiency RF-to-dc conversion across a wide input power range. Unlike ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, ...

アナログIC開発者必携の書，ポール・R・グレイ他：「ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUITS」の図の解説です。手許に ...

Capacitance can be altered by manipulating spins in the opposite way from ‘normal’ magnetocapacitance, shows a team from Brown University. This discovery could play an important role in developing ...

How does a varactor diode work? To form the PN junction that makes a diode, half the piece is doped with a trace amount of “donor atoms” that have one more electron than the intrinsic stuff to make ...
