Theoretical and experimental studies with tunnel diodes in various configurations are discussed. Small signal applications where noise and stability are of primary concern are considered first. In these applications, dynamic range is not a factor except where it is involved in establishing or ensuring the correct operating point for the circuit. Large signal applications where the static bias conditions are essential to the treatment and operation of the circuit are then considered. Here the signals, bias and dynamic range are of the same order of magnitude. The theory of circuits in which the negative resistance property of the tunnel diode is directly involved in the analytic treatment is discussed. The general areas of success and difficulty are treated and guide lines for future efforts are given. (Author).
Research was concerned with tunnel di de theory and applications although a considerable portion of the effort was devoted to the related objective of developing a better understanding of the behavior of negative resistance devices in general. The basic theory of the tunnel diode is presented which summarizes most of the known essential elements of tunnel diode theory at the present time. (Author).
Tunnelling and Negative Resistance Phenomena in Semiconductors presents a critical review of tunneling theory and shows how this leads to the negative resistance phenomena in pn junctions. The physics, technology, and circuitry of semiconductor negative resistance devices are surveyed. The book challenges the conventional assumptions of tunneling theory and proposes an alternative approach that allows the possibility of a change in energy during tunneling. It also introduces the reader to the manufacture, operation, and applications of semiconductor negative resistance devices. Comprised of five chapters, this volume begins by presenting a logical physical interpretation of the wavefunction with its so-called ill-behaved nature and considering other consequences of the energy distribution effect. The next chapter is devoted to the tunneling effect through tunnel diodes along with other properties of this device. The circuitry and technology of tunnel diodes as well as backward and Zener diodes are then examined, along with negative conductance devices that are used as microwave sources. The final chapter is concerned with negative conductance switching devices. This book is intended for students and practitioners in the fields of physics and electronics.
