Abstract

The p^+^ substrate plays an important role on the edge stability of p^+^n multiquantum well avalanche transit time devices. The p^+^n multiquantum well avalanche transit time devices on n^+^ substrate easily burn out along the device edge at low breakdown current. The same structure on p^+^ substrate can have the desired band diagram on device edge to eliminate edge burn‐out and CW operation is thus achieved at 100.3 GHz. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
