Target entity: tunnel diode Context triple: [Leo Esaki, knownFor, tunnel diode]
-
A.
Esaki diode
chosen
The Esaki diode is a heavily doped semiconductor tunnel diode that exhibits negative differential resistance, enabling high-speed and microwave-frequency electronic applications.
-
B.
resonant tunneling diode
A resonant tunneling diode is a quantum-effect semiconductor device that exploits resonant tunneling through double potential barriers to achieve negative differential resistance and ultra-fast switching.
-
C.
Gunn diode
A Gunn diode is a semiconductor device that generates microwave-frequency oscillations by exploiting the Gunn effect in materials like gallium arsenide, commonly used in high-frequency oscillators and radar systems.
-
D.
Shockley diode equation
The Shockley diode equation is a fundamental formula in semiconductor physics that describes the current–voltage relationship of an ideal p–n junction diode.
-
E.
gallium arsenide
Gallium arsenide is a compound semiconductor material known for its high electron mobility and direct bandgap, widely used in high-frequency and optoelectronic devices such as microwave integrated circuits, LEDs, and laser diodes.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
