PIN Diode:

The diode in which intrinsic semiconductor is sandwiched between p and n junction.

Diode can bear upto very high frequency that is Radio frequency which is used as switch as a fast switching device.

Gunn Diode :

The diode is consisting of n type semiconductor material.

Used as tachometers and microwave receiver.

Tunnel Diode:

The heavily doped semiconductor with negative resistance.

Used as oscillator and radiation of nuclear plant.

Zener Diode :

The heavily doped semiconductor diode which operates in reverse bias.
