摘要
GaN-based heterostructure lateral Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) grown on n-SiC substrate are investigated in this letter. These SBDs own very low onset voltage V-F = 0.43 V, high reverse blocking V-BR > 1000 V, very low capacitive charge of 0.213 nC/A, and a very fast recovery time of 10 ps. These unique qualities are achieved by combining lateral topology, GaN:C back-barrier epitaxial structure, fully recessed Schottky anode (phi(B) = 0.43 eV), and slanted anode field plate in a robust and innovative process. Diode operation at elevated temperature up to 200 degrees C was also characterized.
