What happens to a tunnel diode when the reverse bias effect goes beyond the valley point?(a) it behaves as a normal diode(b) it attains increased negative slope effects(c) reverse saturation current increases(d) beacomes independent of temperatureI had been asked this question during an online exam.This key question is from Tunnel Diodes and its Characteristics in chapter Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) it behaves as a normal diode

For explanation: After the valley point is crossed,the TUNNEL diode obtains positive SLOPE resistance. That is SIMILAR to the CHARACTERISTICS of a normal diode. So it behaves like a normal diode after beyond valley point.
