Until recently, investigators have been frustrated in their attempts at applying microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies to semiconductor devices. During the last few years, the discovery of avalanche transit-time and Gunn effects in bulk semiconductors has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm. The successful fabrication of models presently utilizing these negative-conductance phenomena has given these high-frequency devices an optimistic outlook for the future.
