GUNN DIODE Definition • History • Construction •
Definition: Such type of semiconductor device which have only N type doped (semiconductor) material, is called “Gunn Diode. ” It’s a unique component. Gunn Diode is also known as: Transferred Electron Device (TED). Microwave Semiconductor Device.
Symbols for Circuit Diagram:
History: Gunn diode was invented by a Physicist, John Battiscombe Gunn, in 1963, in IBM. Transferred Electron Effect was first published by: Ridley and Watkins in 1961. Further work by Hilsum in 1962, Finally J. B. Gunn, observed it, using Ga. As semiconductor, in 1963.
Construction: Gunn diodes are fabricated from a single piece of n-type semiconductor, Source Material: Tri-methylgallium and arsenic (10% in H 2). Most Common Materials : Gallium Arsenide (Ga. As) and Indium Phosphide (In. P).
Three main areas: Top/Upper Area, Middle Area, Bottom Area. Middle area (Active layer) has a doping level between 1014 cm-3 to 1016 cm-3.
Substrate has doping density n = 1. 3 x 10 ^18 cm-³. Thickness varies according to the frequency required.
Metal contacts consist of three layers, namely a 80 nm layer of Au. Ge sandwiched between two layers of 10 nm of Ni. Additional Au. Ge is evaporated on the existing contacts to a depth of 0. 7μm.
Use Of Gold. Its relative stability, and high conductivity. Requirements: The material must be defect free , and it must also have a very uniform level of doping.
Types of Materials Used For Gunn Diodes To Get Different Frequencies: Gallium arsenide for frequencies up to 200 GHz, Gallium nitride can reach up to 3 THz.
GUNN DIODE Negative Resistance In Gunn Diode
Ga. As (Galliam Arsenide ) has a property of negative resistance. ) The negative resistance in Gunn diode is due to (a) electron transfer to a less mobile energy level (b) high reverse bias (c) electron domain formation at the junction
(a) How electron move into low mobility ? According to Einstien Equation E=mc 2
(b) High reverse bias (c) Electron domain formation at the junction

GUNN DIODE WHICH HAS A RESISTANCE. NEGATIVE DYNAMIC
GRAPH BETWEEN RESISTANCE AND VOLTAGE
As a result we arrange that average voltage on the Gunn diode is as illustrated in figure. The diode is said to be biased into the negative resistance region.
CHANGE IN ENERGY R= RL + R(V) WHEN R >0 THE ENERGY OF ANY OSCILLATION TENDS TOBE REDUCEDBY RESISTIVE DISSIPATION.
WHEN R <0 The oscillation energy tends to be increased. According to law of conservation of energy The amount of energy at r > 0 = The amount of energy at r < 0

WORKING OF GUNN DIODE
COAXIAL CAVITY
In this case, each diode induced fluctuation travels up the cavity and reflected from the far end, returning to the diode after a time L = length of cavity c= speed of light
The oscillator may therefore oscillate at any frequency such that. n= the “number of half- waves”
FOR A BETTER RESULT n=1 The system won't oscillate at a lower frequency because the cavity is too short to permit it. It can't oscillate at a higher frequency because the diode is ‘too slow’, hence we ensure a single-valued oscillation frequency.
Real Gunn devices have a response time which varies with the applied voltage, hence we can electronically tune the oscillation frequency by slightly adjusting the bias voltage
