Rectifier — A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as detectors of radio signals. Rectifiers … Wikipedia
Metal-semiconductor junction — is a type of junction in which a metal comes in close contact with a semiconductor material. Similar to a p n junction, it has rectifying properties. History The rectification property of metal semiconductor contacts was discovered by Ferdinand… … Wikipedia
Metal–semiconductor junction — In solid state physics, a metal–semiconductor junction is a type of junction in which a metal comes in close contact with a semiconductor material. Similar to a p n junction, it has rectifying properties. History The rectification property of… … Wikipedia
p-n junction — Electric contact in transistors and related devices between two different types of material called p type and n type semiconductors. These materials are pure semiconductor materials, such as silicon, to which impurities have been added. Materials … Universalium
