White Paper: Comparison Of Gallium Arsenide And Silicon PIN Diodes For High Speed Microwave Switches

Source: MACOM

Gallium Arsenide has several advantages over Silicon when making fast PIN diodes of similar dimensions. GaAs also has a few major disadvantages which limit the type of devices that can be produced. This article discusses these characteristics as they effect the type of GaAs PIN diode that can be built and the usage of GaAs PIN diodes in fast, moderate power switches.
