This is a simple diode that exhibits non-linear impedance. These diodes are mostly used at microwave detection and mixing.ConstructionA semi-conductor pellet is mounted on a metal base. A spring-loaded wire is connected with a sharp point to this silicon pellet. This can be easily mounted into coaxial or waveguide lines. The below figure gives a clear picture of this.OperationWith the contact between semiconductor and the metal, a depletion region is formed. The metal region has a smaller depletion width, comparatively. When contact is made, electron flow occurs from semi-conductor to the metal. This depletion builds up a positive space charge ...
