Research of the Contact Pads Topology Influence on the Parameters Reproducibility of the Current Oscillations in Mesa-Planar Structures Based on Semi-Insulatinggallium Arsenide

Experimental results of research the influence of the electric field distribution between the pads of mesa-planar resistor structures based on semi-insulating n-GaAs are represented. These influence by changing pads topology (plane-parallel, flat-pointed, counterpointed and concave-pointed) was studied for the current oscillations parameters (the threshold voltage, frequency and amplitude of current oscillations) reproducibility increasing.
