In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage regulation, where these tiny devices wield immense power in transforming alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) and maintaining stable voltage levels.
This article discusses the role of the depletion region in a semiconductor p-n junction and the effects of doping concentration on the depletion width.
