A method of making an Impatt diode capable of operating at millimeter wave frequencies in which an epitaxial layer of the thickness desired for the diode is deposited on a substrate. Conductivity modifiers are implanted into the epitaxial layer to form one active region and a high conductivity region between the one active region and the surface of the epitaxial layer. A heat sink which also serves as a handle is formed on the epitaxial layer. The substrate is removed and conductivity modifiers are implanted into the other side of the epitaxial layer to the other active region and a high conductivity region between the other active region and the other surface of the epitaxial layer. After the implants the epitaxial layer is annealed. After the first implants the epitaxial layer may be annealed by either thermal or laser annealing. However, after the second implants the epitaxial layer must be laser annealed.
