Abstract:

GaAs Schottky diode proved itself to be one the main semiconductor device used in THz-electronics. This contribution describes the evolution of THz-devices from honey-comb whisker-contacted Schottky diodes to sub-millimetre monolithically integrated circuits SMMIC at University of Technology TU Darmstadt. Short description of each device and integration type is given together with pointing technological and device particularities.
