  • Integration of a baritt diode
    Patent number: 9525077
    Abstract: A vertically oriented BARITT diode is formed in an integrated circuit. The BARITT diode has a source proximate to the top surface of the substrate of the integrated circuit, a drift region immediately below the source in the semiconductor material of the substrate, and a collector in the semiconductor material of the substrate immediately below the drift region. A dielectric isolation structure laterally surrounds the drift region, extending from the source to the collector. The source may optionally include a silicon germanium layer or may optionally include a schottky barrier contact.
