  • Abstract
    The current status and perspective of diamond as wide bandgap semiconductor in microwave power and high temperature electronics is reviewed. Predicted RF power densities above 50 W/mm and diode operation above 1000 °C characterize this extraordinary material. In addition, the properties predistine diamond films also for RF MEMS. A bi-stable in-line switch is discussed.
