Abstract
Number of diodes having single P–N junction but having different modes of operation, different methods of construction, different characteristics, and special areas of application are available. Such diodes are called special diodes. Some of such special diodes are zener diode, varactor diode, Schottky diode, tunnel diode, photodiode, light emitting diode, and so on.
