Diodes

 

 

Diodes(Number and Coding schemes)

 

There are a number of common, standard and manufacturer-driven numbering and coding schemes for diodes; the two most common being the EIA/JEDEC standard and the European Pro Electron standard

 

EIA/JEDEC

A standardized 1N-series numbering system was introduced in the US by EIA/JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) about 1960. Among the most popular in this series were: 1N34A/1N270 (Germanium signal), 1N914/1N4148 (Silicon signal), 1N4001-1N4007 (Silicon 1A power rectifier) and 1N54xx (Silicon 3A power rectifier)

 

Pro Electron

The European Pro Electron coding system for active components was introduced in 1966 and comprises two letters followed by the part code. The first letter represents the semiconductor material used for the component (A = Germanium and B = Silicon) and the second letter represents the general function of the part (for diodes: A = low-power/signal, B = Variable capacitance, X = Multiplier, Y = Rectifier and Z = Voltage reference), for example:

 

·         AA-series germanium low-power/signal diodes (e.g.: AA119)

·         BA-series silicon low-power/signal diodes (e.g.: BAT18 Silicon RF Switching Diode)

·         BY-series silicon rectifier diodes (e.g.: BY127 1250V, 1A rectifier diode)

·         BZ-series silicon Zener diodes (e.g.: BZY88C4V7 4.7V Zener diode)

Effect of substrate voltage

 

 

The effect of body effect is that the threshold voltage is reduced

 

 

 and  are process parameters and  is the  when  is zero.

 

In an n-MOS device the substrate is connected to the most negative voltage in the system so as to keep  negative.

 

Effect of temperature

 

Drain current decreases with increase in temperature unlike BJT

 

Breakdown in Mosfet

 

There are three kinds of breakdown in mosfet

 

1.      Breakdown of drain and substrate region due to high drain voltage. This is avalanche breakdown

 

2.      If the channel width is small the depletion region at drain may cross the channel and overlap with the region at source. This causes increase in the drain current. This is called punch-through.

 

3.      Breakdown of gate-oxide if static charge is deposited at the gate. This causes permanent damage.
