Abstract

The physical operation, crystal growth, optical lithography and electron-beam lithography fabrication and measured performance of single-crystal diamond active devices for microwave frequencies are presented. Preliminary results suggest the potentials of such technology in high-frequency and power operation. The use in space applications is envisaged, thanks to the peculiar diamond features to operate in harsh environments and with remarkable RF performance.
