Meta Would that question about diodes and transistors be OK here?

I'm fairly new here and I don't want to ask a question that is too basic or has a too obvious answer that everyone (except me) could find on the net. Old fashioned (to avoid "ancient") p-n juncti...

Q&A Understanding of basic semiconductors

Trying to update my understanding of basic semiconductors. It has been a very long time since I seriously looked at semiconductors. The most basic semiconductor application is a diode. From Wikip...

Q&A Avoid voltage loss and protect FETs from static energy

Old fashioned p-n junction devices suffered from a voltage drop (0.6V for Si, 0.2V for Ge, if I remember correctly). FETs and CMOS were the latest highlight back then, and highly prone to be destr...

Q&A Electrolytic capacitors: capacitors vs. batteries

Capacitors are expected to obey ${\displaystyle C={\frac {Q}{V}}}$ very closely, so computations in RCL-networks can be done assuming impedance to be $j\omega C$. On the other hand, batteries (rec...
