ABSTRACT
A small area, high frequency germanium junction type diode has been fabricated and tested. The starting material is N-type of resistivity 0·1 ohm-cm. The typical diode fabricated gives a current of 150 mA. at 0·6 volt in the forward direction. The breakdown voltage is in the range of 25 volts. Tests show that the diode rectifies well up to a frequency of 70 Mc. Details of fabrication and testing procedure are being discussed.
