摘要
Au/Pt/GaN Schottky diode rectifiers were fabricated with reverse breakdown voltage (V-RB) UP to 550 V on vertically depleting structures and >2000 V on lateral devices. The figure-of-merit (V-RB)(2)/R-ON, where R-ON is the on-state resistance, had values between 4.2 and 4.8 MW cm(-2). The reverse leakage currents and forward on-voltages were still somewhat higher than the theoretical minimum values, but were comparable to SiC Schottky rectifiers reported in the literature. These devices show promise for use in ultrahigh-power switches. (C) 2000 American Vacuum Society. [S0734-2101(00)00804-6].
