 Tunnel diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tunnel diode or Esaki diode is a type of semiconductor diode which is capable of very fast operation, well into the microwave region GHz, by utilizing quantum mechanical effects.
In the tunnel diode, the dopant concentration in the P and N layers are increased to the point where the reverse breakdown voltage becomes zero and the diode conducts in the reverse direction.
Tunnel diodes are also relatively resistant to nuclear radiation, as compared to other diodes.

 Inverse Rectennas for Two-Way Wireless Power Transmission
In previous research, rectenna energy-conversion efficiency as high as 91 percent had been achieved in the receiving mode.
However, IMPATT oscillators are typically only about 10-percent efficient; in other words, about 90 percent of the dc input power becomes heat, which must be removed.
The issues of energy-conversion efficiency and heat sinking would have to be addressed in developing practical inverse rectennas.
