Abstract:

A GaN-based heterostructure lateral Schottky diode with insulating carbon-doped GaN back-barrier with high reverse bias blocking capability for high voltage operation in power switching is presented. The device combines the low onset voltage, 0.46 V, of a recessed Schottky contact with low leakage current at reverse bias and the good blocking capability of a GaN:C back-barrier. Devices with a 15 µm anode cathode separation exhibit leakage current as low as 6 × 10^-6 A, reverse blocking bias over 1000 V and on-state resistance of 1.48 mΩ × cm².
