Q: 1. What is a tunnel diode used for?

Answer: The tunnel diode is used in many mmWave and microwave circuit designs where it can be used in oscillator and amplifier circuit designs.

Q: 2. What is a tunnel diode and its work?

Answer: A Tunnel Diode is a heavily doped p-n junction diode. The tunnel diode shows negative resistance. When voltage value increases, current flow decreases. The tunnel diode works based on the Tunnel Effect.

Q: 3. What is a tunnel diode and its characteristics?

Answer: Tunnel diode theory shows that it does not act as a normal diode, but instead exhibits a negative resistance region in the forward direction.

Q: 4. Why is it called a tunnel diode?

Answer: A tunnel diode or Esaki diode is a type of semiconductor diode that has effectively "negative resistance" due to the quantum mechanical effect called tunneling.

Q: 5. What is meant by the tunneling effect?

Answer: the quantum mechanical phenomenon is sometimes exhibited by moving particles that succeed in passing from one side of a potential barrier to the other although of insufficient energy to pass over the top.
