I. Introduction and CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

Welcome to the fun-filled, action-packed Wide World O' Diodes. This FAQ is intended as a helpful tool for finding unusual diodes, such as germanium diodes or step recovery diodes. If you have any comments, suggestions, additions, contributions, PLEASE email me. Especially appreciated would be sections on laser diodes and various microwave diodes.

This FAQ used to be posted to sci.electronics and sci.engr.semiconductors around the first of each month, but it's grown too large for my newsreader, so it's staying exclusively on the WWW. It is stored at on the World-Wide Web at ../../faq.html
