Abstract
A review of physical principles of design as well as some ways of technical realization of controlled resonance semiconductor devices at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths is presented. The operation of such devices is based on cyclotron and magnetoplasma resonances as well as on Fabry-Perot resonance. Such choice has been made due to the fact that these resonance phenomena are the most typical ones for the magnetized semiconductor plasma.
