Abstract :
Schottky-barrier microwave mixer diodes of GaAs have been fabricated in a novel epitaxially grown high resistivity guard layer configuration. These devices are capable of withstanding RF pulse energies of up to 2 ergs with no deterioration in noise figure performance. Such high resistance to RF spike burnout is attributed to device planarity and passivation resulting from the integral guard layer design.
