4 Power Diodes A power diode has a P-I-N structure as compared to the signal diode having a P-N structure. Here, I (in P-I-N) stands for intrinsic semiconductor layer to bear the high-level reverse voltage as compared to the signal diode (n-, drift region layer shown in Fig. ) However, the drawback of this intrinsic layer is that it adds noticeable resistance during forward-biased condition. Thus, power diode requires a proper cooling arrangement for handling large power dissipation.
