tunnel diodes conducts at that level but if you get to the peak and valley you end uip with a very hi freq oscillator. but for this kind of leve it will be ok.
*ALL* diodes are passive.
THe "backwards diode" is an Esaki diode with Ip=Iv; net effect is
good rectification in the reverse (backwards) bias and a "breakdown" in
the region of 350+mV.
Many would disagree about the tunnel diode or the Gunn diode.
