Abstract

Provided is an organic tunneling p-n junction diode. The organic tunneling p-n junction diode includes an n-doped organic semiconductor layer and a p-doped organic semiconductor layer which are doped with extrinsic impurities. When either a reverse-bias voltage or a forward-bias voltage is applied, the organic tunneling p-n junction diode is turned off within a predetermined voltage range and has exponential voltage-current characteristics outside the predetermined voltage range.
