A diode is a semiconductor electrical component that allows an electric current in only one direction.
A tunnel diode, or Esaki diode, is a special type of diode that can operate very quickly using quantum tunneling, allowing it to work even with microwave frequencies (current switching direction billions of times per second).
What else can I help you with?
Why it is said to be negative resistance region?
A negative resistance region is where the current goes up while the voltage goes down, or vice versa. This is a characteristic of the esaki or tunnel diode, when it is in its tunnel region.
How tunnel diode work?
Tunnel diodes are used on very High frequency and fabricated using degenerated semiconductor GaAs.When it got positive potential to anode and negative to cathode the current passing through it increases up to Ip peak value after that the majority carriers on n side does not come to p side because the valance level of n side rise up . after that current reduces up to valley value and after that if you further increase forward voltage it behave like ordinary p-n diode and current will increase according to voltage(Non- linearly) . It is invented by L. Esaki and sometime called esaki diode and they were get Nobel Prize for this tremendous invention.
Difference between gunn diode and pin diode?
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
What is a real diode?
whether we know that p-n diode is real diode. But still in case of semeconductor we see then silics is real diode.
The bluk resistance of a diode depends on?
Bulk resistance of diode depends on how it is biased. The bulk resistance of a diode is the approximate resistance of the diode when it is forward biased.
What is the symbol of esaki diode?
The symbol for the esaki diode, also known as the tunnel diode, is similar to the zener diode, except that the two stems on the end of the cathode both point back towards the anode, and they are at 90 degrees instead of 45 degrees.
