Popis: This letter reports on a method for extracting parasitic equivalent-circuit model parameters at submillimeter-wave frequencies. The devices investigated are quasi-vertical gallium arsenide Schottky diodes integrated on silicon. The technique utilizes measurements of coplanar waveguide-fed passive structures in the WR-2.2 band (325–500 GHz), which are fabricated on the same wafer as the diodes. These structures consist of short- and open-circuited terminations that allow direct measurement of the parasitic circuit elements associated with the device. The values of the parasitic elements obtained using this method are in agreement with the values reported in the literature for diodes of comparable geometry.
