An active component is a device that has an analog electronic filter with the ability to amplify a signal or produce a power gain. There are two types of active components : electron tubes and semiconductors or solid-state devices.
A diode is a specialized electronic component with two electrodes called the anode and the cathode. Most diodes are made with semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium, or selenium.
