  • Abstract
    4H-SiC single drift p+-n-n+ IMPATT diodes have been fabricated and characterised. The diodes have avalanche breakdown voltages of ~290 V. Microwave oscillations appeared in X-band at a threshold current of 0.3 A. The maximum output power of 300 mW was measured at an input pulsed current of 0.35 A
