P-N JUNCTION DIODE

P-N JUNCTION DIODE
A P-N junction diode is a piece of silicon
that has two terminals. One of the
terminals is doped with P-type material
and the other with N-type material. The P-
N junction is the basic element for
semiconductor diodes. A Semiconductor
diode facilitates the flow of electrons
completely in one direction only – which is
the main function of semiconductor diode.
It can also be used as a Rectifier.

The compound that is used for making LED is Gallium
arsenide phosphide.
These chemical produce colors when p.d is applied across them.
