            Abstract : 
80 GHz band silicon d.d.r. Impatt diodes with diamond heatsinks were fabricated. An output power of 1014 mW at 77.70 GHz was obtained by liquid-nitrogen-cooled operation, which gives the highest pf2 product, and 726 mW at 73.35 GHz by room temperature operation. Small-signal diode impedance was calculated considering operating temperature.
