Best Answer

have low cost ,low power consumption,simplicity,high speed ,environmental immunity, and low noise but the demerits are because of fact that it is a two terminal device and low output voltage swing ,there is no isolation b/w input and output,and this leads to serious circuit design difficulties.

Is forward voltage drop of schottky diode more than tunnel diode?

Yes, the forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode is usually more than the forward voltage drop of a tunnel diode. A Schottky diode voltage drop is between approximately 0.15 to 0.45 volt. The interesting thing that makes a tunnel diode different from other diodes is its "negative resistance region" with a "peak current" around 0.06 volt and a "valley current" around 0.30 volt.
