Abstract. We investigated the parameters of silicon and gallium arsenide microwave diodes intended for different functions. Their heat-resistant contacts were made on the base of interstitial phases. A unified technological route is proposed to produce microdiodes with bulk contacts. Tests of these silicon and gallium arsenide microwave diodes in forced modes demonstrated their high heat stability.

Keywords: microwave diodes, diode temperature sensors, metallization, silicides, nitrides, borides, refractory metals, reliability.
