By applying a reverse bias voltage to a " gate " terminal, the channel is " pinched ", so that the electric current is impeded or switched off completely.
32.
Thus the device is turned off not by reverse bias voltage applied to the gate, as in the case of conventional MOSFET but by full depletion of the channel.
33.
A typical application is finding a semiconductor diode s reverse bias leakage current and doing forward and reverse bias voltage sweeps and current measurements to generate its I-V curve.
34.
In electronics, an "'avalanche diode "'is a diode ( made from silicon or other semiconductor ) that is designed to experience avalanche breakdown at a specified reverse bias voltage.
35.
An assessment for solar energy collection found that, to get high efficiency, the diode would need a ( dark ) current much lower than 1?A at 1V reverse bias.
36.
For non-ideal diodes, the electrodes are also given fixed names even though such a diode under reverse bias would have a positive charge flow out of the " anode ".
37.
The clocking of the gates, alternately high and low, will forward and reverse bias the diode that is provided by the buried channel ( n-doped ) and the epitaxial layer ( p-doped ).
38.
An increase in the collector base voltage, for example, causes a greater reverse bias across the collector base junction, increasing the collector base depletion region width, and decreasing the width of the base.
39.
Under " reverse bias " voltages the exponential in the diode equation is negligible, and the current is a constant ( negative ) reverse current value of " " I S ".
40.
Semiconductive variable capacitance diodes are not capacitors in the sense of passive components but can change their capacitance as a function of the applied reverse bias voltage and are used like a variable capacitor.
