The structure of an accretion disk illuminated by X-rays is investigated. For high values of X-ray heating no static disk solution was found, while for low values of heating a corona was formed above the disk. In the high X-ray illumination case the only possible wind solution is the supersonic solution meaning the evaporation of the disk. Only a very narrow range of X- ray heating and critical point height yield the proper wind solution that agrees with the disk solution. Finally, a self-consistent model of accretion disk and a wind is presented.
