The time delays between sub-terahertz (sub-THz) and soft X-ray (SXR) emission from solar flares with a positive spectrum slope at frequencies of >100 GHz are considered. Based on a cross-correlation analysis of the time profiles of sub-THz and SXR emission from 11 flare events obtained from the KOSMA (230 GHz), SST (212 GHz), and RT-7.5 (93 GHz) telescopes, as well as the GOES satellite in channel 1-8 A, we identified two main types of sub-THz events. Type I includes four X-class events with a well-defined Neupert effect, i.e., the sub-THz flux outpaces the SXR flux by 2-9 min. Type II includes seven M-class flares, in which the time profiles behave similarly and the delays do not exceed 30 s. The different mechanisms of radio emission in different layers of the solar atmosphere may be responsible for the positive slope of the sub-THz spectrum of flares.
