Millimeter wave receivers incorporating the highest quality Schottky            barrier diodes presently utilize whisker contacted devices.  The                advent of millimeter wave integrated circuitry and planar array                 receivers underscores the requirement of a whiskerless, planar                  Schottky barrier device.  At present, commercial manufacturers have             produced whiskerless devices which have far less than optimum                   electrical characteristics.  Research during the past year at the               University of Virginia has resulted in the design and fabrication of a          novel whiskerless Schottky diode with excellent DC and RF                       characteristics.  The object of this proposed research is to continue           work on the whiskerless Schottky barrier mixer diode for use at and             above 100 GHz signal frequency which will have electrical                       characteristics, including parastic element values, as near as                  possible to those theoretically predicted.  This research program will          consist of a joint effort between the University of Virginia's                  Semiconductor Device Laboratory and the Fort Monmouth Electronic                Technology and Devices Laboratory.  It will involve optimization of             device design and fabrication technology utilizing the MBE, electron            beam mask generation ion implantation, and facilities at Fort Monmouth          and the existing processing technologies and processing equipment at            the University of Virginia.  This project will involve 1 Masters                student for a period of 1 year.
