One is laid bare by [WizardTim], as he cross-sections a 20KV high-voltage diode. A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum ...

This second course provides a more detailed description of high-voltage Schottky and p-n diodes, starting with the semiconductor physics background needed to analyze both types of diodes. The main ...

It’s a good question, and [styropyro] put together this fascinating bit of destructive testing ... diode-laser bazooka to a bottle-busting ruby laser. The latter requires high voltage, of ...

Humidity robustness has been validated through HV-H3TRB reliability testing. The diodes exhibit neither reverse recovery nor forward recovery, and feature a low forward voltage, ensuring improved ...
