Assertion: diode's layer | /r/CapableOf | form capacitor
Facets:
value: effectively
type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: Because the P and N layers with the depletion layer between them effectively form a capacitor, widening the depletion layer reduces the capacitance of the PN junction and increases the maximum frequency at which the diode can operate; a desirable property, especially in photodiodes that operate as digital information receivers.
