Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a voltage or current is applied to the terminals of bulk solid state compound GaAs, a differential negative resistance is developed, which is a characteristic feature of certain semiconductor devices like the Tunnel Diode, where the current decreases with an increase in voltage across certain regions of its operation.
