semi conductor devices called impatt diode
source? edit
some of this is clearly copied text (references to a figure that doesn't exist...). What was the original source? (the "Rintluanga" cited is a contributor. -- phoebe 18:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
read reference edit
I believe the Read article is the first mention of the IMPATT diode. --phoebe 18:45, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Diagram edit
A diagram would really help. Explanation is a fine start, but with no idea what part or where its describing it makes comprehension hard going. Tabby (talk) 17:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
frequencies edit
The article says "They operate at frequencies between about 3 and 100 GHz or more."
Is that 3 Hz or 3 Ghz? --Marc Kupper|talk 05:07, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Clearly plagiarised text edit
Much of this article is lifted directly from Section 6.2 of S.M. Sze's "Semiconductor Devices: Physics and Technology". Not sure what the right thing to do is here. Anyone? --150.250.203.138 (talk) 01:09, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
