Introduction to Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) All semiconductor diodes available today are used in some capacity, but LEDs are the most widely used of them all. The visible light or the invisible infrared light of a light-producing diode may be transmitted one-sidedly (biased). There are several uses for LEDs that

This post outlines the latest trends in solar cells. As we know that with the passage of time, the world is moving towards solar energy as fossil fuels are becoming rare. Solar energy harvesting from solar cells is a very cheap way of producing electricity. Due to underlined benefits of
Introduction to MOSFETs Mohamed M. Atalla worked at Bell Labs in the late 1950s on the issue of surface states, which he discovered. He carried on Frosch’s oxidation research, attempting to passivate the surface of silicon by generating an oxide layer on top of it. He felt that growing a
The prime objective of this post is to get familiar with bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and its related terminology. The primary purpose of a BJT is to amplify the current. This allows BJTs to be utilized as amplifiers or switches in electronic devices such as cell phones, industrial control, television,
