Abstract
Current-controlled negative resistance characteristics are computed for avalanche injection metal/insulator/metal diodes. Current injection is taken to occur by either Schottky thermionic emission or the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling mechanism. The results presented show that the diode negative resistance characteristics depend critically on both the magnitude and field dependance of injected currents.
