MP61000-GaAs-PIN

GaAs PIN didoes are fabricated utilizing a gold contact mesa and are protected with silicon nitride. The diodes have short carrier lifetime for fast switching speed and low series resistance. GaAs PIN didoes are available as bondable chips, chip-on-board components and in a variety of packages. GaAs PIN diodes, in comparison to Si PIN diodes, reach their high impedance state at zero bias and do not require reverse bias for low loss. Nanosecond switching speed is achieved with GaAs PIN diodes, using low-cost TTL drivers.
