Difference between P–n junction and Silicon

P–n junction vs. Silicon

A p–n junction is a boundary or interface between two types of semiconductor materials, p-type and n-type, inside a single crystal of semiconductor. Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and atomic number 14.

Avalanche breakdown

Avalanche breakdown is a phenomenon that can occur in both insulating and semiconducting materials.

Crystal

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

Diode

A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction (asymmetric conductance); it has low (ideally zero) resistance in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other.
