1 ilicon chottky Barrier Mixer Diodes Features Ideal for MIC Low 1/f Noise Low Intermodulation Distortion Low Turn On Hermetically ealed Packages PC Controlled Wafer Fabrication Description Alpha beam lead and chip chottky barrier mixer diodes are designed for applications through 40 GHz in a band. The beam lead design eliminates the problem of bonding to the very small junction area that is characteristic of the low capacitance involved in microwave devices. lead chottky barrier mixer diodes are made by the deposition of a suitable barrier metal on an epitaxial silicon substrate to form the junction. The process and choice of materials result in low series resistance along with a narrow spread of capacitance values for close impedance control. A variety of forward knees are available, ranging from a low value for low, or starved, local oscillator drive levels to a higher value for high drive, low intermode mixer applications. The beam lead diodes are available in a wide range of packages as shown. Capacitance ranges and series resistances are comparable with the packaged devices that are available through band. The unmounted diodes are especially well suited for use in microwave integrated circuits. The mounted devices can be easily inserted as hybrid elements in stripline, microstrip or other such circuitry. lead and chip chottky barrier diodes are categorized by noise figure for mixer applications in four frequency ranges:,, u and a bands. However, they can also be used as modulators, high speed switches and low power limiters. everal types of semiconductor barrier metal systems are available, thus allowing proper selection for optimum mixer design. For most applications the N type silicon, low drive types are preferable, especially for starved LO mixers. lead diodes are ideally suited for balanced mixers, since they exhibit low parasitics and are extremely uniform. A typical vs. I F curve is shown in Figure 1. Typical noise figures vs LO drive is shown in Figure 2 for single N type, low drive diode types.
