The heterostructure intervalley transferred electron devices produced by a band mixing quantum well composed of direct gap GaAs and indirect gap AlAs is introduced in this paper.The structure of this new millimeter wave oscillating diodes and its main oscillating behavior are described briefly.It can produce up to 320mW at 8mm wave band with the highest conversion efficiency of 8%.Under the pulse operation the largest output power of 2W with efficiency of 10% has been achieved.The function of oscillating frequency and output power versus bias voltage are emphasized.At last we briefly describe the electric field computed by a computer simulation program and the microwave operation model for forward and reverse- biased devices,from which the oscillating behavior mentioned above has been explained. The heterostructure intervalley transferred electron effect and its devices have been thoroughly analyzed through this work.
