  • Abstract
    Schottky-barrier hi-lo GaAs Impatt diodes with Ti-Pt-Au contacts have been fabricated for the 10.7¿11.7 GHz band. At 180°C junction temperature rise the diodes have produced over 5 W of output power and up to 24% efficiency from an 11 GHz oscillator. Initial life tests show potential for high reliability.
