Radiative efficiency is studied in (In,Ga)N quantum well diodes with varying bias. Photoluminescence efficiency decreases, when the forward bias is very high. Decrease of PL is due to reduced e–h wave function overlap in the wells. Electroluminescence droop may be caused by this effect under ...
Forward bias: When the voltage across the diode is positive the diode is "on" and current can run through. The voltage should be greater than the forward voltage (VF) in order for the current to be anything significant. Reverse bias: This is the "off" mode of the diode, where the vol...
The diagram in figure 2.6 shows the current/voltage relationship for a silicon diode in both the forward and reverse bias regions.There are a number of important things to note about the behaviour of the diode: 1. In the forward bias region the current through the diode is very small until...

Only one diode can be turned on at a time, and the other is in the off state. As a result, the forward and reverse pressure drop of it will be clamped to the forward conduction of the diode. The voltage drop is below 0.5-0.7, so as to protect the circuit. The function of the ...
Forwards Bias Condition: In case the voltage connects with the positive anode and its negative side joins with the cathode, it will make this diode a conductor and the forward bias condition will establish which means the current is flowing. Reverse Bias Condition: In this case, if we reverse...
Temperature-dependent reverse-bias current-voltage characteristics obtained by other researchers for Schottky diodes fabricated on GaN are reinterpreted in terms of phonon-assisted tunneling (PhAT) model. Temperature dependence of reverse-bias leakage current is shown could be caused by the temperature depe...
The secondary breakdown current (It2) of the polysilicon diodes under the forward- and reverse-bias conditions has been measured by the transmission-line-puIse (TLP) generator to investigate its ESD robustness. Moreover, by adding an efficient VDD-to-VSS clamp circuit into the IC, the human-...
