Tunnel diode — A tunnel diode or Esaki diode is a type of semiconductor diode which is capable of very fast operation, well into the microwave frequency region, by using quantum mechanical effects. It was invented in 1958 by Leo Esaki, who in 1973 received the… … Wikipedia
Tunnel junction — A tunnel junction is, in its simplest form, a thin insulating barrier between two conducting electrodes. If the electrodes are superconducting, Cooper pairs with a charge of two elementary charges carry the current. In the case that the… … Wikipedia
Si/SiGe resonant interband tunnel diode — A Si/SiGe resonant interband tunnel diode (RITD) is a type of resonant interband tunnel diodeswhich is based on Si/SiGe materials.All types of tunnel diodes, including Si/SiGe resonant interband tunnel diodes,make use of the quantum mechanical… … Wikipedia
Backward diode — In semiconductor devices, a backward diode is a variation on a zener diode or tunnel diode having a better conduction for small reverse biases (for example –0.1 to –0.6 V) than for forward bias voltages.The reverse current in such a diode is by… … Wikipedia
Resonant interband tunnel diode — Resonant interband tunnel diodes (RITDs) combine the structures and behaviors ofboth intraband resonant tunnel diodes (RTDs) and conventional interband tunnel diodes,in which electronic transitions occur between the energy levels in the… … Wikipedia
Zener diode — A Zener diode is a type of diode that permits current in the forward direction like a normal diode, but also in the reverse direction if the voltage is larger than the breakdown voltage known as Zener knee voltage or Zener voltage . The device… … Wikipedia
Esaki , Leo — (1925–) Japanese physicist Born in the Japanese city of Osaka, Esaki graduated in physics at the University of Tokyo in 1947, gaining his doctorate there in 1959. His doctoral work was on the physics of semiconductors, and in 1958 he reported an… … Scientists
