Summary

The current dependence of the forward voltage of a cryogenic silicon diode temperature sensor is reported in the temperature range 10-300 K. The current values are varied from 10 nanoamperes to 0.1 ampere. The study helps to conclude that for all practical purposes such as commercial diodes (prescribed for a particular current value of 10 nanoamperes) can be operated for a wider range of current values, with suitable calibration data.
