I disagree here.. they definitely aren't passive. Are you thinking of
"discrete"?

Since they almost certainly are semiconductors inside, put them in
semiconductors - and sub-categories.

Farnell classifies them as:

Semiconductors - Discretes - Diodes - ***

Where *** is one of:

Current regulator
Rectifier Array
Rectifiers Single
RF
Small Signal
Variable Capacitance (varicaps, varactors)
Zenner array
Zenner single


(I know technically you might have a thermionic device too though, but
even Farnell puts those under Semiconductors)
