A diode or discrete diode is an electronic component which has ideally zero resistance to current in one direction as compared to ideally infinite resistance in the other. There are different types of discrete diodes which include zener diodes, schottky diodes, laser diodes, transient protection diodes, radio frequency and microwave diodes, and small signal diodes

A diode or discrete diode is an electronic component which has ideally zero resistance to
current in one direction as compared to ideally infinite resistance in the other. There are
different types of discrete diodes which include zener diodes, schottky diodes, laser diodes,
transient protection diodes, radio frequency and microwave diodes, and small signal diodes.
A diode acts as a one-way valve which has different applications depending upon the
property or type of diode used in the circuit. For instance, as a rectifier it is used to change
alternate current (AC) to direct current (DC). In addition, light emitting diode ensures
transfer of electric current between the electrodes in order to generate light. The most
common type of diode in use today is a semiconductor diode that is equipped with “p-n
junction” for connection between two terminals. The semiconductor diodes conduct
electricity if the diode is in state of forward biased. Forward biased means the cut-in or
threshold is in forward direction; thereby, allowing a less voltage drop as compared to the
current flowing. This voltage drop across the diode (forward-biased) is used in temperature
sensors.

Diodes, which allow electric current to pass in one direction, are used as rectifier diodes. This
behavior of an electronic component to allow the current flow in one direction and restrict
the flow in opposite direction is known as rectification and hence the name for the diode..
This procedure is followed for conversion of altering current (AC) to direct current (DC).
Moreover, diodes posses “non-liner current-voltage” characteristics which makes their
functionality restricted to simple “on-off” action performance while mounted on an electronic
circuit. Such diodes have profound applications for automotives, consumer electronics,
communications, and other industries.
Factors such as low-power consumption, miniaturization, compact packaging, and higher
integration are ensuring development of components across automobile, communication,
and electronic industries. This is expected to swell the demand for discrete diodes in future.
However, cost effective production is identified as a key factor hindering the market growth.
Discrete diode market is a competitive industry due to strong foothold of current players

operating in this market, which has created high entry barrier for new players to invest in
this market.
Factors which are limiting the expansion of regional players in the global market include
strong distribution networks, economies of scale, and well equipped manufacturing plants of
the established companies. Thus to retain their competitive edge, companies across the
globe are into either new product development or extension of existing product portfolio to
meet increasing demand for improved devices across various sectors. For instance, Toshiba
Corp. (Toshiba Electronics Europe) announced enhancement of its product line of schottky
barrier diodes (SBDs).
