Accurately measuring current-voltage characteristics of tunnel diodes

Abstract

Abstract-This paper provides an approach to monitor oscillation status in tunnel diode measurement circuits-by measuring the second derivative of the current-voltage (I-V ) characteristic curve while doing I-V curve measurement. The method of using the second derivative to detect oscillations works even when the oscillation frequency is ultrahigh or the oscillation amplitude is very small, e.g., below 10 mV. In this paper, the experimental principle of the tunneling spectroscopy was extended to measurement circuits with the presence of internal oscillations, in contrast to the conventional tunneling spectroscopy, which normally does not deal with internal oscillation.

Electrically and Optically Bistable Operation in an Integration of a 1310nm DFB Laser and a Tunneling Diode

“…It is noticed that there is a 'plateau' within the NDR region, which has been reported in Refs. [15,16] that it results from the interaction between the Agilent voltage source meter used in our test and the negative different resistances. Because of the NDR region in the 𝐼-𝑉 characteristics, the TD can produce electrical bistability with the presence of series resistance.…”
