ABSTRACT:
A diode according to the invention comprises an electrically insulating envelope (2), within which a wafer (1) of semiconductor material with a pn junction is enclosed between metal studs (3, 4). The metal studs (3, 4) are sintered bodies mainly comprising tungsten, a metallic sintering activator and a material chosen from the group comprising Y.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, ZrO.sub.2 and ThO.sub.2. The metal studs (3, 4) can be manufactured at a comparatively low temperature and nevertheless have a very high density and a very great strength as well as a fine structure.
