摘要：

We present the results of the study of the electric breakdown in p-pi-n GaN diodes. The breakdown is observed at reverse biases above 40 V and is accompanied by the formation of microplasmas. The study shows that the observed breakdown field in GaN (on the order of 1 to 2 MV/cm) increases with the temperature. This feature makes GaN very promising for high power devices and avalanche photodetectors, operating at elevated temperatures.
