AI Thread 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 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
