TUNNEL DIODE (Esaki Diode) It was introduced by Leo Esaki in Heavily-doped p-n junction Impurity concentration is 1 part in 10^3 as compared to 1 part in 10^8 in p-n junction diode Width of the depletion layer is very small (about 100 A). It is generally made up of Ge and GaAs. It shows tunneling phenomenon. Circuit symbol of tunnel diode is : EVEV

WHAT IS TUNNELING Classically, carrier must have energy at least equal to potential-barrier height to cross the junction. But according to Quantum mechanics there is finite probability that it can penetrate through the barrier for a thin width. This phenomenon is called tunneling and hence the Esaki Diode is know as Tunnel Diode.

ENERGY BAND DIAGRAM Energy-band diagram of pn junction in thermal equilibrium in which both the n and p region are degenerately doped.

-Zero current on the I-V diagram; -All energy states are filled below E F on both sides of the junction; AT ZERO BIAS Simplified energy-band diagram and I-V characteristics of the tunnel diode at zero bias.

-Electrons in the conduction band of the n region are directly opposite to the empty states in the valence band of the p region. -So a finite probability that some electrons tunnel directly into the empty states resulting in forward-bias tunneling current. AT SMALL FORWARD VOLTAGE Simplified energy-band diagram and I-V characteristics of the tunnel diode at a slight forward bias.

-The maximum number of electrons in the n region are opposite to the maximum number of empty states in the p region. - Hence tunneling current is maximum. AT MAXIMUM TUNNELING CURENT Simplified energy-band diagraam and I-V characteristics of the tunnel diode at a forward bias producing maximum tunneling current.

-The forward-bias voltage increases so the number of electrons on the n side, directly opposite empty states on the p side decreases. - Hence the tunneling current decreases. AT DECREASING CURRENT REGION Simplified energy-band diagram and I-V characteristics of the tunnel diode at a higher forward bias producing less tunneling current.

-No electrons on the n side are directly opposite to the empty states on the p side. - The tunneling current is zero. -The normal ideal diffusion current exists in the device. AT HIGHER FORWARD VOLTAGE Simplified energy-band diagram and I-V characteristics of the tunnel diode at a forward bias for which the diffusion current dominates.

- Electrons in the valence band on the p side are directly opposite to empty states in the conduction band on the n side. -Electrons tunnel directly from the p region into the n region. - The reverse-bias current increases monotonically and rapidly with reverse-bias voltage. AT REVERSE BIAS VOLTAGE

CjCj -R-R rsrs Ls TUNNEL DIODE EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT This is the equivalent circuit of tunnel diode when biased in negative resistance region. At higher frequencies the series R and L can be ignored. Hence equivalent circuit can be reduced to parallel combination of junction capacitance and negative resistance.

A Zener is a diode operated in reverse bias at the Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) called the Zener Voltage (V Z ). Common Zener Voltages: 1.8V to 200V Zener Diode 13

The diode is in the reverse bias condition. At some point the reverse bias voltage is so large the diode breaks down. The reverse current increases dramatically. This maximum voltage is called avalanche breakdown voltage and the current is called avalanche current. Zener Region 14

Semiconductors act differently to DC and AC currents. There are 3 types of resistances. DC or Static Resistance AC or Dynamic Resistance Average AC Resistance Resistance Levels 15

DC or Static Resistance The resistance of a diode at a particular operating point is called the dc or static resistance diode. It can be determined using equation (1.1): (1.1) R D = V D /I D 16

Example : DC or Static Resistance – refer Figure 1.1 2m 20m I D (A) Si diode m m RD()RD() V D (V) RD()RD() I D (A) Ideal diode dc resistance of forward-bias region decrease when higher currents and voltage. 17

AC or Dynamic Resistance Static resistance is using dc input. If the input is sinusoidal the scenario will be change. The varying input will move instantaneous operating point UP and DOWN of a region. Thus the specific changes in current and voltage is obtained. It can be determined using equation (1.2) (1.2) r d = ∆ V D / ∆ I D 19

AC resistance can be determined by picking 2 points on the characteristic curve developed for a particular circuit. Average AC Resistance 20
