EnglishDefinition
a semiconductor that consists of a p-n junction
Hypernym
a conductor made with semiconducting material
EnglishHyponym
diode such that light emitted at a p-n junction is proportional to the bias current; color depends on the material used
zenerdiode 1
noun
a semiconductor diode that exhibits a sharp increase in reverse current at a well-defined reverse voltage; used as a voltage regulator
a semiconductor rectifier that uses the barrier formed between a specially prepared semiconductor surface and a metal point to produce the rectifying action.
DIAC 1
noun
a diode that conducts electrical current only after its breakover voltage, VBO, has been reached momentarily.
