  • Abstract
    A procedure has been developed for fabricating small avalanche diodes of either silicon or GaAs using a novel electrochemical etching technique plus electroplating of a copper heat-sinking-block. The etching technique provides improved uniformity and thickness control; 6 micron layers over 1.5 cm diameter wafers have been reproducibly fabricated with little difficulty.
