Abstract
A diode device with a low or negligible threshold voltage includes at least one field effect transistor, the gate of the field effect transistor being connected to the drain of the field effect transistor. The threshold voltage of the diode device is approximately of the same magnitude as the potential of the gate of the field effect transistor forming part of the diode device.
