Breakdown Mechanisms in β-Ga2O3 Trench-MOS Schottky-Barrier Diodes

Taylor Moule et al.

Summary: The breakdown mechanisms of >1kV beta-Ga2O3 trench-MOS Schottky-barrier diodes were investigated under step-stressed voltage measurements, revealing two leakage mechanisms: barrier tunneling and non-reversible soft-breakdown events. The change in dominant leakage mechanism under reverse bias stress has implications for the voltage ratings and lifetimes of devices with oxide layers for enhanced breakdown fields.

Investigation of a vertical 2D/3D semiconductor heterostructure based on GaSe and Ga2O3

Sahin Sorifi et al.

Summary: In this study, a 2D/3D vertical van der Waals p-n heterojunction based on p-type gallium selenide (GaSe) and n-type gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is fabricated and characterized. The conduction band offset at the GaSe/Ga2O3 hetero-interface is estimated using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopic (KPFM) measurements, and the band diagrams are designed accordingly. The diode-like behavior observed in the current-voltage measurements is attributed to the type-II band alignment at the p-n junction interface. The heterostructure exhibits high current rectification ratio and promising photoresponse properties, making it a potential candidate for efficient optoelectronic devices.

Summary: The barrier height inhomogeneity in beta-Ga2O3 Schottky diodes has a strong correlation with temperature, with the barrier height increasing at first and then decreasing as the temperature rises. This behavior is attributed to the bandgap narrowing of the semiconductor, resulting in close to homogeneous electrical characteristics in normal operating conditions.
