because that the tunnel diode is a standard pn junction diode in many respect
except its highly doped pn junction so it has some characteristics in the negative resistance region another that its a standard diode

Yes, the forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode is usually more than the forward voltage drop of a tunnel diode.
A Schottky diode voltage drop is between approximately 0.15 to 0.45 volt.
The interesting thing that makes a tunnel diode different from other diodes is its "negative resistance region" with a "peak current" around 0.06 volt and a "valley current" around 0.30 volt.

The diode that has a negative resistance region in its voltage-current curve.

there is difference between doping levels.In normal PN junction diode we add 1 impurity for 108 atoms where as in tunnel diode we add 1 impurity for 103 atoms.there is a probability that electrons may penetrate through barrier.So will not disappear
in tunnel diode we get maximum current before barrier disappear where as we get maximum current after break down(there is no barrier)
this effect lies within a certain voltage limit of 0.4V.
When we consider the energy band structure in case of PN junction diode the fermi level lies inside the forbidden energy gap.In case of tunnel diode,the fermi level lies outside the forbidden energy band.
In tunnel diode, there is a topic about negative resistance region where as we cannot discuss it in PN junction diode.

A diode is a semiconductor electrical component that allows an electric current in only one direction.
A tunnel diode, or Esaki diode, is a special type of diode that can operate very quickly using quantum tunneling, allowing it to work even with microwave frequencies (current switching direction billions of times per second).
1 answer
A tunnel diode is a type of semiconductor device with a heavily doped p-n junction that exhibits negative resistance. It is formed by sandwiching a thin layer of heavily doped semiconductor material between two layers of lightly doped material. This design allows for quantum tunneling of charge carriers through the thin layer, enabling the diode to exhibit the unique negative resistance property.

The symbol for the esaki diode, also known as the tunnel diode, is similar to the zener diode, except that the two stems on the end of the cathode both point back towards the anode, and they are at 90 degrees instead of 45 degrees.
For more information, and a picture, please see the related link below.
1 answer
A negative resistance region is where the current goes up while the voltage goes down, or vice versa. This is a characteristic of the esaki or tunnel diode, when it is in its tunnel region.

Applications: They are used in low power amplifiers DLVA, microwave and RF power monitors, high-frequency triggers, ALC loops, zero bias detectors, ACP tunnel diode circuits, etc. Since they are more resistant to nuclear radiation, tunnel diodes are used in space applications like amplifiers for satellite communications.

A: The essential difference is while it will behave like a normal diode at some at .6 forward voltage it has a negative impedance area before this point is reached it is not a very stable area to maintain and has the tendency to switch from one mode [low level] to the other .6v and very fast endeed.

Tunnel diode is a degenerative diode which works under quantum mechanism of tunneling. It exhibits a negative resistance region. They are used in high speed switching circuits.
Tunnel diode operation:
At equilibrium condition, energy bands are crossed to keep Ef (fermy level energy) constant. When a small forward or reverse bias is applied the filled and empty energy states will come opposite to each other and tunneling takes place. The depletion region will be sharp if the doping is high.
Reverse bias is applied:
When reverse bias is applied Efp will come above Efn. The filled states of p will come opposite to empty states of n. So tunneling takes place from p to n. If reverse bias is increased further then tunneling and reverse current increases.

yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
1 answer
They are capable of extremely fast operation. They have a current dip in the forward IV characteristics. This creates a negative differential resistance .
ANSWER: A tunnel diode has a negative curve dip once it reaches a certain point there fore it will switch back to stable condition if maintained there. while it is fast the valley of transition is not very stable it changes drastically with temperature making the device not desirable for dependable switching. It can however be used for low fast leveling triggering

Bulk resistance of diode depends on how it is biased. The bulk resistance of a diode is the approximate resistance of the diode when it is forward biased.
1 answer
It can be either a junction or point contact diode built with semiconductor material. there are many types depending on intended usage.
- junction diode is produced as described in its name by forming a junction in the semiconductor by using opposite types of dopant impurities.
- point contact diode is produced as described in its name by taking a semiconductor base and pressing a sharp metal point on its surface.
A few of the types of semiconductor diodes are: small signal, power rectifier, zener, tunnel, gunn, etc.

A Tunneldiode, usually made of GaAS. In a part of its curve it has a negative resistance. This means that when you increase the voltage in that region, the current will drop.

Not sure of your context. A diode is a diode. One artificial distinction might be that an electric diode refers to a diode used in a higher power application with more current where an electronic diode might be found on a circuit board as part of an electronic lower power application.

You can test it by puting it in forward bias with a resistor. Use a dc voltage source of 5 volts and put it in series with 250 Ohms resistor. Or use 9volts with a 450 Ohms resistor. Basically you need 20mA of forward current usually. Smaller current will reduce brightness.
