Click For Summary
Diodes are primarily made through the creation of p-type and n-type junctions, which can be achieved using diffusion methods in semiconductor fabrication. The CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process is a key technique that outlines how diodes are constructed, as it involves diffusing wells to form these junctions. For more advanced diodes, ion implantation is utilized to customize doping profiles, enhancing their performance characteristics. Numerous resources are available online that detail these fabrication methods. Understanding these processes is essential for anyone interested in diode manufacturing.

please I want to know how diodes are made practically
I searched for this in many seatch engines but I don't found any resukts that satisfies me
I hope u could help
thanks in advance

Look up any of the 7 million websites that describes CMOS (that is complementary metal oxide semiconductor) fabrication and it will show you how diodes are made. Every time you have a p-type/n-type junction you have a diode and cheap diodes are often made using diffusion. When they describe how the wells are diffused in the CMOS process they are describing diode fabrication.

Advanced diodes also make use of ion implantation to tailor their doping profiles (and therefore their responses).

allright...I will search for this
thanks for reply
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
