In this blog we will be discussing about different types of diode and symbol. A diode is basically two terminal electronic device which allows current to flow in one direction while it blocks the current in other direction.
It is made of two types of semiconductor materials namely p-type and n-type. By varying the properties of these materials different types of of diode are manufactured. Here are some different type of diodes described as follow.
Schottky diode
PN junction diode
Avalanche diode
Zener diode
Light Emitting Diode
Photodiode
Laser diode
