Tunnel diodes are usually fabricated from germanium, gallium or gallium arsenide. These all have small forbidden energy gaps and high ion motilities. Silicon is not used in the fabrication of tunnel diodes due to low (Ip,I v)value.
A small tin dot is soldered or alloyed to a heavily doped pellet of n-type Ge, GaSb or GaAs. The pellet is then soldered to anode which is also used for heat dissipation. The cathode contact is connected to the tin dot via a mesh screen used to reduce inductance. The diode has a ceramic body and a hermetically sealing lid on top.

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
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
What is the difference in construction between power diode and simple diode?
Basically the semi-conductor junctions are a larger surface area and heat sinks are part of the design to dissipate heat.
Basic construction of zener diode?
A zener diode has a heavily doped p-n junction allowing electrons to tunnel from the valence band of the p-type material to the conduction band of the n-type material, such that the reverse voltage is "clamped" to a known value, called the zener voltage.

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.
When was the Frejus Tunnel built?
The rail tunnel or the road tunnel? Construction of the rail tunnel began in 1857, and it was first opened in 1871. Construction of the road tunnel spanned from 1974 to 1980.
