Abstract

The design and fabrication challenges in the first ever attempt to realize a 1-THz vacuum tube amplifier are described. Implementation of innovative solutions including a slow-wave structure in the form of a double corrugated waveguide, lateral tapered input and output couplers, deep X-ray LIGA fabrication process, and a cascade architecture of the backward wave amplifier are discussed. A new knowledge in the field of terahertz vacuum devices brought by intensive simulations and development of advanced fabrication and assembly processes of the micro structures is highlighted.
