  • Abstract
    pn-Junctions in IC processes are investigated for the use as an inductive design component. Measurements of inductance, quality factor and noise under avalanche breakdown conditions are compared to device simulations and the theory for IMPATT diodes. Inhomogeneous breakdown is also investigated
