Abstract :
It was shown that profile optimization of substrate doping of Schottky multiplier diode allows not only increasing significantly the capacity overlap coefficient KCB>;4.5, but also providing the minimum value of leakage current over the range (0-10 V) of reverse biases. With the use of AFM has been shown one of the possible statistically ideal states of the epitaxial n-GaAs surface, which allows obtaining M-P contacts in millimeter range with the idealness index n <;1.1 and the series resistance RS<;10 ohms. Minimization of parasitic parameters due to the use of air bridges allowed obtaining Schottky mixer diodes with the overlap coefficient KCd>; 3.3.
