Abstract
Previous TRAPATT theories for high-efficiency oscillations in avalanche diodes are extended to apply to double-sided n+--n--p--p+ structures, where TRAPATT-mode operation is assumed to occur in both the n- and p-type drift regions. Results are deduced for silicon devices of various different structures, and an optimum double-sided structure is predicted.
