Abstract
Planar Gunn diodes made from epitazial GaAs on insulating substrates having a contact geometry which results in an ideal electric field distribution are described. The current density is uniform along the diodes, and no high-field regions appear at the contacts. The lengths of the Gunn diodes varied from over 1000 to less than 100 µ.
