Abstract

AbstractA tunnel diode is a type of semiconductor diode which is capable to very fast operation well into microwave frequency region, by using quantum mechanical tunnelling effect. In 1958, Leo Esaki, a Japanese scientist, discovered that if a semiconductor junction diode is heavily doped with impurities, it will have a region of negative resistance.
