An abiotic factor diode is a semiconductor device that utilizes the unique electrical properties of semiconductor materials to control the flow of current. Based on semiconductor basics, such as bandgap energy and charge carrier behavior, the diode operates by allowing current to flow in only one direction. Its construction involves metal electrodes connected to a semiconductor material, which is sandwiched between an insulator and a dopant. When a forward bias is applied, charge carriers easily cross the junction, creating a low resistance path. Conversely, a reverse bias creates a depletion region,阻碍电流流动。
