$\hbox{In}_{0.53}\hbox{Ga}_{0.47}\hbox{As}$ Planar Gunn Diodes Operating at a Fundamental Frequency of 164 GHz

Abstract

We present the first results of a planar Gunn diode made in In <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.53</sub> Ga <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.47</sub> As on an InP substrate, operating at a fundamental frequency up to 164 GHz. For a 120-μm-wide device with a 1.3- μm active channel length, the highest power achieved was approximately -10 dBm at 164 GHz.
