The varactor diode capitalizes on the properties of the depletion layer of a p-n diode. Under reverse bias, the carriers in each region-holes in the p type and electrons in the n type-move away from ...

Editor’s note: Please see this Planet Analog blog, Protecting Against Reverse Polarity: “Which Method is Right for You?” for determining the best method for your particular design. This article ...

Described by its maker as the world's first of its kind, the LASORB component is described as an electrostatic-discharge (ESD) absorber that protects laser diodes, photodiodes and LEDs from single, ...

For conventional silicon-based solar cells, reverse bias is a known problem and engineers have developed a solution: a bypass diode. You can think of this as a small side-channel that allows the water ...

Researchers from Princeton University in the United States and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia have tested the reverse-bias stability of monolithic ...

The researchers said reverse bias could be caused by shading or debris or detritus on the module surface. Image: UNSW Sydney Perovskite solar cells are susceptible to severe reverse bias challenges ...

Researchers in the United States have found microscopic pinholes in perovskites are responsible for the breakdown of such solar cells when under reverse bias conditions. They say the findings urge ...
