This study successfully fabricated high-performance GaN vertical Schottky barrier diodes and demonstrated the potential of the self-alignment trench structure in improving the breakdown voltage.
In this work, high-performance GaN vertical Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) are successfully fabricated on the GaN-on-GaN substrate by using the self-alignment trench structure and argon (Ar) ion implantation. The fabricated diodes achieve a high current ON/OFF ratio of 10(8) and high breakdown voltage (BV) of 656 V due to the reduced surface electric field effect. Besides, the temperature-dependent reverse leakage characteristics show that two Poole-Frenkel emission (PFE) processes dominate the carrier transport. This work shows great potential of the self-alignment trench structure in fabricating GaN vertical SBDs to improve the BV with simply fabrication process.
