Abstract

The processing technique for microwave pin diodes based on SiC (silicon carbide) has been developed. Based on these diodes, switches in the 3-cm range have been fabricated. It has been shown that the working power of the developed switches is about 10 times higher than that based on Si diodes at the same base thickness, which is equal to 5 μm. The ways of further improvement of the processing technique of these devices have been suggested.
