    A semiconductor diode is a two-terminal device. The application of a voltage across its terminals leaves three possibilities: no bias (V = 0 V), forward bias (VD > 0 V) and reverse bias (V > 0 v) silicon versus Germanium RESISTANCE LEVELS: DC or Static Resistance AC or Dynamic Resistance: Average AC Resistance: e = emmsion coefficient or ideality factor 1= e = 2.

    SEMICONDUCTOR DIODE SUMMARY Since the diode is a two-terminal device, the application of a voltage across its terminals leaves

    three possibilities: no bias (VD = 0 V), forward bias (VD 0 V), and reverse bias (VD 0 V).

    It can be demonstrated through the use of solid-state physics that the general characteristics of a semiconductor diode can be defined by the following equation for the forward- and reversebias regions:

    = emmsion coefficient or ideality factor 1 2
