ABSTRACT:
A schottky junction diode is provided by a substrate (32) having a mesa stacked thin horizontal semiconductor layer (34, 50) with an exposed edge (36) at a generally vertical side (38) of the mesa, and a schottky metal layer (40) having a generally vertical portion (42) over the semiconductor layer edge and forming a generally vertical schottky junction (44) having an area in 10.sup.-8 to 10.sup.-10 cm.sup.2 range for operation at millimeter and submillimeter wave frequencies.
