The temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics were measured to investigate leakage conduction mechanisms in GaN-on-Si quasi-vertical Schottky barrier diode. Different leakage current mechanisms dominate at low and high temperatures, with variable range hopping being main at low temperatures and Frenkel-Poole emission becoming dominant at high temperatures. At a relatively high voltage range, VRH becomes the main current mechanism at the entire measured temperature range due to increased electric field promoting electron hopping along the threading dislocation in the bulk GaN layers.
Temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics was measured to investigate leakage conduction mechanisms in GaN-on-Si quasi-vertical Schottky barrier diode. At low reverse bias, thermionic emission is dominated. At voltage range from -1 to -20 V, variable range hopping (VRH) is main leakage current mechanism at low temperatures (298-373 K), while at high temperatures (498-573 K), electrons gain enough energy and emit into the trapped states, Frenkel-Poole emission becomes dominant. At a relatively high voltage range, the increased electric field promotes the electron hopping along the threading dislocation in the bulk GaN layers, and VRH becomes the main current mechanism at whole measured temperature range (298-573 K).
