  We present single-cell accelerating structures designed for high-gradient testing at 110 GHz. The purpose of this work is to study the basic physics of ultrahigh vacuum RF breakdown in high-gradient RF accelerators. The accelerating structures are pi-mode standing-wave cavities fed with a TM01 circular waveguide. The structures are fabricated using precision milling out of two metal blocks, and the blocks are joined with diffusion bonding and brazing. The impact of fabrication and joining techniques on the cell geometry and RF performance will be discussed. First prototypes had a measured Qo of 2800, approaching the theoretical design value of 3300. The geometry of these accelerating structures are as close as practical to single-cell standing-wave X-band accelerating structures more than 40 of which were tested at SLAC. This wealth of X-band data will serve as a baseline for these 110 GHz tests. The structures will be powered with short pulses from a MW gyrotron oscillator. RF power of 1 MW may allow us to reach an accelerating gradient of 400 MeV/m.
