SECTION IV
Note : This section contains five (5) questions of five (5) marks, each based on the following
passage. Each question should be answered in about thirty (30) words.
(5 5 = 25 Marks)
Gunn effect is instrumental in the generation of microwave oscillators in bulk
semiconductor materials. GaAs and InP have been found to posses it. If a small dc
voltage is placed across a thin slice of GaAs, then negative resistance will manifest it
self under certain conditions. If the voltage gradient across the slice is in excess of
about 3300 V/cm. The oscillations will then occur, if the slice is connected to a
suitably tuned circuit. Because of high voltage gradient across the slice of GaAs
electron velocities are high, and the oscillations will occur at microwave frequencies.
It is seen that as the applied voltage rises past the negative resistance value,
current falls, and thus the classical case of negative resistance is exhibited. The
oscillations observed in the GaAs slice have compatible with the formation and transit
time of electron bunches. This phenomenon leads to the formation of negative
resistance domains. As a good approximation, the equivalent circuit of a GaAs,
X-band Gunn diode consists of a negative resistance of about 100 ohms in parallel
with a capacitance of about 0.6 pF. Gunn oscillators, Gun amplifiers are used in broad
band operation. Gunn diodes are employed frequently as low and medium power
oscillators in microwave receiver instruments. Gunn diodes are also used in pump
sources, because of much lower noise. Further, PIN diodes are used as detectors at
microwave frequencies.
