ABSTRACT:
Improved TRAPATT diodes in which the improvement comprises a high-temperae metallization on silicon from which the diodes are formed.
Metallization is applied to a silicon wafer by sputtering a layer of titanium, chromium, tungsten alloy followed by a gold layer. The desired diode shape and size is defined in the gold layer by use of a pattern of the proper shape and size in combination with a photolithographic process. The metallization layers and the silicon are then etched so as to form a plurality of individual shaped (mesa or ring structure) TRAPATT diodes. Such diodes can withstand 610.degree. C. for one hour without degradation.
