ABSTRACT
Fabrication of a commercial type of fused silicon diode from an n-type material of resistivity 10 ohm cm. is described. The design is such that it will give about 150 mA. at 1 volt and will have a high breakdown voltage and high rectification ratio. For P-type doping of n-type silicon, results of several alloys are discussed. The complete details of fabricating the diode, i.e. slicing, etching, alloying and of testing the diode characteristics are presented.
