The effect of hole versus electron photocurrent on the microwave properties of IMPATT oscillators is presented and correlated with staticI-Vcharacteristics. The composition of the photocurrent was altered by fabricating both flip-chip (FC) and top-mounted (TM) devices and using an optical source with an absorption depth comparable to both the depletion-layer thickness and substrate diffusion length. The importance of the order of magnitude difference in effect of hole versus electron photocurrent is discussed.
