What is Tunnel Diode?

Ads Below The Title


A tunnel diode or Esaki diode is a type of semiconductor diode that is capable of very fast operation, well into the microwave frequency region, by using the quantum mechanical effect called "Tunneling".



A tunnel diode is a high conductivity two terminal P-N Junction diode doped heavily about 1000 times higher than a conventional junction diode. Tunnel diodes are useful in many circuit
