Diode is a dual electrode electronic component with asymmetric conductivity. When conducting forward, there is an infinitesimal resistance between its two electrodes (anode and cathode), while in reverse, there is an infinitesimal resistance, meaning that current is only allowed to flow through the diode in a single direction.
In 1874, German physicist Karl Braun discovered the rectification ability of crystals. Therefore, the first generation diode developed in 1906, the "cat whisker diode," was made from mineral crystals such as galena. Early diodes also included vacuum tubes, which had two electrodes, an anode, and a thermal cathode. After the discovery of semiconductor performance, diodes became the world's first semiconductor device. Nowadays, most diodes are produced using silicon, and other semiconductor materials such as selenium or germanium are sometimes also used. The most common structure currently is a semiconductor performance junction chip connected to two electrical terminals through a PN junction.

Function
A diode has two terminals, anode and cathode, and current can only flow in a single direction. That is to say, current can flow from the anode to the cathode, but not from the cathode to the anode. The application of the unidirectional characteristic possessed by diodes is commonly referred to as the "rectification" function. In a vacuum tube, the voltage applied between the electrodes can allow hot electrons to travel from the cathode to the anode, thus having a rectifying effect. The conversion of alternating current to direct current, including the modulation of radio signals by radio receivers, is achieved through rectification.

Due to its characteristic of blocking forward and reverse flow, diodes can be thought of as electronic versions of check valves. However, in reality, diodes do not exhibit such perfect switching performance, but rather exhibit complex nonlinear electronic characteristics determined by specific types of diode technology. Generally speaking, the diode will only start working when the threshold voltage is reached in the forward direction (this state is called forward bias). The voltage drop at both ends of a forward biased diode is only slightly related to the current and is a function of temperature. Therefore, this feature can be used for temperature sensors or reference voltages.

The nonlinear current voltage characteristics of semiconductor diodes can be changed by selecting different semiconductor materials and doping different impurities to form impurity semiconductors. In addition to being used as a switch, diodes with changed characteristics also have many other functions, such as adjusting voltage (Zener diodes), limiting high voltage to protect circuits (avalanche diodes), radio tuning (varactor diodes), generating radio frequency oscillations (tunnel diodes, Gunn diodes, IMPATT diodes), and generating light (light-emitting diodes).

In semiconductor diodes, there are types that utilize the PN junction effect of P-type and N-type semiconductor interfaces, as well as the Schottky effect generated by metal semiconductor bonding to achieve rectification. If it is a PN junction diode, it is the anode on the P-type side and the cathode on the N-type side.

Spring, it is a season for feeling the warmth of the sun, smelling the fresh air, seeing the green grass and flowers.

Tomb-sweeping Day is coming ! It is a time for remembering loved ones who have departed and visiting graves. In ancient China, besides sweeping tombs, people would get together for outing to enjoy the charming Spring during these days ! The most popular activities are swinging, kite-flying, pushing-and-pulling, gamecocking and so on. 

In modern times, people prefer to traveling in this season ! 
The Lijiang Liver in Guilin City is one of the best choices ! It is famous for its unique beauty of four characteristics: verdant mountains, crystal-clear water, mysterious caves, and exquisite rocks. At the rainy season, the river is shrouded with mist, the hills look more graceful when covered with such a fine veil...

The exhibition "ChipEXPO - 2017" will be held 31.10 - 02.11.2017 in the "Expocentre" in Pavilion "Forum". You can visit website on http://www.chipexpo.ru/en for more details.

Kt Kingtronics will update our information online in time. If you have any questions or any good suggestions for this exhibition, please feel free to contact us. 

One may fall in love with many people during the lifetime. When youfinally get your own happiness, you will understand the previous sadness is kind of treasure, which makes you better to hold and cherish the people you love. <《泰坦尼克号》 一个人一生可以爱上很多的人，等你获得 真正属于你的幸福之后，你就会明白一起 的伤痛其实是一种财富，它让你学会更好 地去把握和珍惜你爱的人>

Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in one's hand. It’s a bout having each tiny wish come true, or having something to eat when you are hungry or having someone's love when you need love. < 《飞屋环游记》 幸福，不是长生不老，不是大鱼大肉，不 是权倾朝野。幸福是每一个微小的生活愿 望达成。当你想吃的时候有得吃，想被爱 的时候有人来爱你>

I don't think that when people grow up, they will become more broad-minded and can accept everything. Conversely, I think it 's aselecting process, knowing what's the most important and what's the least. <《阿甘正传》经典中的经典~~ 我不觉得人的心智成熟是越来越宽容涵盖 ，什么都可以接受。相反，我觉得那应该 是一个逐渐剔除的过程，知道自己最重要 的是什么，知道不重要的东西是什么。而 后，做一个纯简的人>

One is always on a strange road, watching strange scenery and listening to strange music. Then one day, you will find that the things you try hard to forget are already gone. <《蓝莓之夜》 一个人总要走陌生的路，看陌生的风景， 听陌生的歌，然后在某个不经意的瞬间， 你会发现，原本是费尽心机想要忘记的事 情真的就那么忘记了>

In your life, there will at least one time that you forget yourself for someone, asking f or no result, no company, no ownership n or love. Just sk for meeting you in my mo st beautiful years. <《恋恋笔记本》 一生至少该有一次，为了某个人而忘了自 己，不求有结果，不求同行，不求曾经拥 有，甚至不求你爱我。只求在我最美的年 华里，遇到你>

I know someone in the world is waiting for me, although I've no idea of who he is. Bu t I feel happy every day for this. <《返老还童》 我知道这世上有人在等我，尽管我不知道 我在等谁。但是因为这样，我每天都非常 快乐>
