Abstract :
Metallo-organic CVD Ga0.7Al0.3As/GaAs Schottky diodes were processed as planar mixer diodes and exhibited a low noise figure of 5.5 dB (single-sideband) at 36 GHz and 6.0 dB at 94 GHz. The diode capacitance was less than 0.05 pF and series resistance was measured to be 5 ¿ for the 94 GHz diodes.
