Although new-production diodes are difficult for individuals to get their hands on, a wide range of surplus tunnel diodes can still be found on eBay for as little as $1 each in lots of ten.

Now some researchers say a new CMOS-compatible tunnel diode process could extend the lifetime of existing silicon fabs by leapfrogging the next node in the semiconductor road map (as defined by ...

A tunnel diode amplifier circuit. Chetvorno [CC0] Particularly if your textbook is a little older, you may find a short section talking about the tunnel diode.

A former “D” student from Norway, he made his mark at G.E.’s Research Lab in the U.S., in part by confirming a pivotal theory ...

Ohio State University researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode – an electronic component that could one day lead to flexible, low power plastic computer memory and plastic ...

Unlike other diodes in its class, called tunnel diodes, the new diode is compatible with silicon, so manufacturers could easily build it into mainstream electronic devices such as cell phones and ...

The novel laser diode prototypes leverage BluGlass’s unique RPCVD tunnel junction technology, developed over many years for use in high-power products including laser diodes and high-brightness LEDs.

Datta cautions that the new resonant tunnel diode is just one element in a circuit and the next step will require building and integrating the other circuit elements, such as transistors, in 2D.

Hijacking a flaw in diodes to harness quantum physics, Australia's QuintessenceLabs has built a full-entropy quantum random number generator with a 1Gbps output.

Tunnel diodes were first investigated as discrete devices in the 1950s and 1960s. The diodes exploit quantum confinement's negative differential resistance, thereby enabling electrons to leverage ...
