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 ...

Reducing Switching Losses and Increasing Efficiency, Devices Combine Low Qrr Down to 105 nC and VF Down to 1.45 V With Low Junction Capacitance, Fast Recovery Time, and Minimum Creepage Distance of 5.

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
