Diodes are semiconductor devices that primarily act as one-way current valves. In its most elementary form, a diode has two terminals, an anode and a cathode. When a voltage is applied to these two terminals, the anode becomes more positive than the cathode and the diode is “on” (it allows current to pass). Diodes are classified based on their construction and function. The type of diode being discussed here is the single rectifier diode, informally referred to as 1N6765R. In terms of applications, 1N6765R can used for a variety of tasks, such as but not limited to DC power supplies, freewheeling, ripple filtering, reverse voltage protection, and OR logic circuit protection. Aside from its more mundane applications, the 1N6765R can also be used in higher speed, higher current switching applications such as the logical circuit of digital computers.

Due to its design, the 1N6765R has somewhat limiting characteristics in terms of current handling. Specifically, due to its inherent junction parameters, it can handle only limited current. In certain applications such as audio amplifiers and dimmers, it can be used with other components to increase its current capacity. Single rectifier diodes such as the 1N6765R are designed to be used as on/off switching devices in simple circuits, however they can also be used as rectifiers in AC-to-DC power supplies.

In the context of its working principle, the conduction of a single rectifier diode such as the 1N6765R is based on the diffusion of minority charge carriers across the junction formed between a region of thin n-type semiconductor material (the cathode) and a region of thin p-type semiconductor material (the anode). When current passes through the diode, majority carriers move in one direction and minority carriers move in the opposite direction. Minority charge carriers effectively “diffuse” across the junction and cause current to flow. During reverse bias, both majority and minority carriers, when combined, create a high resistance to current flow. In the case of diodes such as the 1N6765R, this is on the order of tens of megohms at nominal silicone-chip diodes.

Due to its design, the 1N6765R is designed to work in forward bias (forward biasing is when the diode is added to the circuit with the cathode connected to the voltage source’s negative terminal and the anode connected to the positive terminal). In forward bias, the majority and minority carrier current flows in the same direction. During diode operation, there is an additional phenomenon that occurs, called minority carrier storage. When a forward-biased diode’s potential is suddenly reduced, some amount of the minority charge carriers initially stored in the depletion layer will continue to move until their momentum is exhausted. This phenomenon is known as minority carrier storage.

In summary, the 1N6765R single rectifier diode is a versatile and reliable tool for a variety of applications, from ripple filtering in power supplies to providing OR logic protection in digital computers. Through the use of majority and minority carrier diffusion, a well-designed single rectifier diode can provide the essential function of allowing current to flow in one direction while blocking current in the opposite direction.
