Abstract

A superlattice avalanche region IMPATT diode has been proposed. Superlattice structure has lower intrinsic noise than the bulk devices. The IMPATT diode consists of a superlattice structure for the avalanche region made of AlGaAs/GaAs system followed by a drift region made of GaAs. The large signal analysis shows high efficiency of the device (>25%) having a power density greater than 10⁹ W/m² in the X-band.
