  • Abstract
    Silicon avalanche diodes with a pnn+mesa structure were made according to suitably chosen design parameters, and carefully fabricated to meet stringent pedormance specifications. Operating under pulse conditions with a duty factor of approximately 10-3, efficiencies as high as 25 percent, and power outputs up to 435 watts at 425 megahertz, were achieved.
