Abstract
An exact current/voltage relation on the basis of the conventional tunnel diode model is derived. The characteristics usually given are approximate, and the differences are illustrated graphically. The approximate evaluation of the characteristic is liable to lead to errors. This is illustrated by reference to recent work.
