Abstract

1491436 Avalanche transit-time diodes RAYTHEON CO 20 July 1976 [13 Aug 1975] 30131/76 Heading H1K The subject-matter of this Specification is identical with that described in parent Specification 1,491,435, but the claims are concerned with a method of making a negative resistance diode including a highly doped region of the same conductivity type as the avalanche region and a drift region and being more highly doped than, and located between, the avalanche and drift regions, the method comprising the steps of vapour depositing a drift region layer of a semi-conductor material on a substrate, and during the vapour deposition, vapour depositing a predetermined quantity of dopant material on the drift region to form the said highly doped region, and depositing the avalanche region on the highly doped region.
