[ 1 ] - A Comparative Study on the Effect of Optical Illumination on Si1-xGex and Si based DDR IMPATT Diodes at W-Band

The effect of optical illumination on DC and dynamic performance of Si1-xGex based double drift region (DDR) (p+pnn+) IMPATT diode operating at W-Band is investigated and compared with its Silicon counterpart. Top Mounted (TM) and Flip Chip (FC) structures are chosen and the composition of photocurrent is altered by shining light on the p+ side and n+ side of the device through optical windows....
