Liquid-nitrogen-cooled submillimetre-wave silicon IMPATT diodes

Abstract
400 and 300 GHz c.w. oscillation characteristics for liquid-nitrogcn-cooled silicon IMPATT diodes are described. Output powers of 2.2 and 4.5 mW have been obtained at 412 and 295 GHz, respectively, and a highest oscillation frequency of 430 GHz observed.
