Use of Vacuum Tube Diodes Gradually p-n junction semiconductor has come in the market and vacuum tubes got replaced by them. The most basic structure of vacuum tube is vacuum diode. Still today somewhere vacuum tubes are being used widely. These fields for application of the vacuum tubes are in Atomic Clocks; Audio Systems; Car Dashboards
A semiconductor diode, the most common type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with a pân junction connected to two electrical terminals.A vacuum tube diode has two electrodes, a plate (anode) and a heated cathode. Semiconductor diodes were the first semiconductor electronic devices.he most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode's forward direction), while blocking current in the opposite direction (the reverse direction). Thus, the diode can be viewed as an electronic version of a check valve.
