semiconductor devices

Glenman

Hello all,
I am writing up a brief report on semiconductor devices. I'd appriciate it if anyone could let me know of a few basic uses/applications of any of the following devices.

Nnijunction transistor
SCR
Power MOSFET
Schottky Diode
IGBT

Thanks a lot

No offence intended, but if you are clever enough to figure out how to post to boards.ie then you should be clever enough to figure out how to use a search engine. I believe there is quite a good one called google which helps you find out interesting things like what to use a silicon controlled rectifier for.

Maybe you should do some of the heavy lifting yourself, then ask for help with anything you can't find?

Edit: You may have trouble finding anything about nnijunction devices though - is this a typo? Do you mean a unijunction device?

If even google is too much work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor

Thanks, that site "google" is something else isn't it!
