Tunnel Diode

  • Overview: Highly doped PN junction with negative differential resistance regions simplified to an exponential IV in this model.

Usage

from semiconductor_sim import TunnelDiode

td = TunnelDiode(1e19, 1e19)

Plot

import numpy as np
v = np.linspace(-0.3, 0.7, 200)
I, R = td.iv_characteristic(v)
td.plot_iv_characteristic(v, I, R)
