    摘要: The subcritically-doped injection-current-limited (SDICL) microwave amplifier device comprises a bulk semiconductor having a doping density-length (noL) product below the critical value needed to sustain Gunn oscillation, in which the electric field is maintained approximately uniform above the threshold field in the vicinity of the cathode and elsewhere by limiting the injection of charge carriers. The injection current is limited by the conduction characteristics of the cathode structure or by tapering the bulk semiconductor. The SDICL device is DC stable, has high efficiency, is designed to operate over a wide range of frequencies, and can be connected directly in series or seriesparallel for higher power levels in amplifier and oscillator circuits.
