H. Presting et al., SILICON K(A) BAND LOW-NOISE BARITT DIODES FOR RADAR SYSTEM APPLICATIONS GROWN BY MBE, Solid-state electronics, 37(9), 1994, pp. 1599-1601
Silicon K(a) band BARITT (Barrier Injection Transit Time) diodes in th
e frequency regime from 26 to 31 GHz have been grown by MBE with a p-n
-p doping sequence. CW powers of 4 mW at 29 GHz have been realized fro
m fabricated mesa diodes with diameters of empty set = 55 to 65 mum, t
he diodes exhibited a signal to noise ratio of SI(NDELTAF ) = 93 dBc/H
z (DELTAf = 100 kHz).
