They are capable of extremely fast operation. They have a current dip in the forward IV characteristics. This creates a negative differential resistance .
ANSWER: A tunnel diode has a negative curve dip once it reaches a certain point there fore it will switch back to stable condition if maintained there. while it is fast the valley of transition is not very stable it changes drastically with temperature making the device not desirable for dependable switching. It can however be used for low fast leveling triggering

Why tunnel diode are used in negative resistance region?
because that the tunnel diode is a standard pn junction diode in many respect except its highly doped pn junction so it has some characteristics in the negative resistance region another that its a standard diode
Why tunnel diode differ from the rectifier diode?
tunnel diodethe doping level of the tunnel diode is high when compared with the rectifier diodeit exhibits negative resistancerectifier diodethe doping level of rectifier diode is low when compared with the tunnel diode

Which diode has its characteristics very close to that of an ideal voltagesource.1.zener diode 2.vacuum tube diode 3. crystal diode?
The Zener diode has the characteristics of a constant voltage source.
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.
What is the width of depletion region of tunnel diode?
0.1 micron

Why there is gap in tunnel diode voltage in experiment?
negative resistance region
