ABSTRACT: The paper deals with the heating of electrons and
current rectification in contact, which is located in an alternating
electromagnetic field. It was found that the electrical component of the
microwave (UHF) waves inside the p-n-junction was curved. This leads to the
perpendicular component of the electric field of the microwave wave. This
component modulates the height of the potential barrier with the frequency of
the microwave. In the p-n-junction, straightening microwave current occurs. It
is shown that the rectifying contact in the microwave electromagnetic field is
always an electromotive force. This is due to carrier heating and straightening
microwave current. It is shown that electron heating and straightening of the
microwave power will lead to higher ideality factor of the diode.
