reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0756932 | Need Help?

Abstract:

The tunnel diode is a new type of semiconductor device. Its operating theory is based on the penetration of electrons through the narrow p-n junction barrier by quantum mechanical tunneling. At present, more than 350 kinds of tunnel diodes are listed as commodities among which, those used in the microwave area have a resistive cutoff frequency approaching 30 GHz. The characteristic parameters of tunnel diodes used in the microwave area are shown in order to indicate the present level of tunnel diode development.
