Tunnel Diode is the P-N junction device that exhibits negative resistance. When the voltage is increased than the current flowing through it decreases. It works on the principle of the Tunneling effect. Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) diode is another type of Tunnel diode, but its present application appears to be limited to research environments due to inherit sensitivities, its applications considered to be very limited to research environments. There is one more diode called Metal-Insulator-Insulator-Metal (MIIM) diode which includes an additional insulator layer. The tunnel diode is a two-terminal device with n-type semiconductor as the cathode and p-type semiconductor as an anode. There can be various applications.
I think that you can use my modelling method for the modelling tunnel diode. In this case you must understand the mechanisms of all processes that take place in this device.
