研究目的
Investigating the impact of anode recess on the reverse leakage current, forward voltage, and dynamic characteristics of Au-free AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diodes with a gated edge termination on 200-mm silicon substrates.
研究成果
The study demonstrates a gradual reverse leakage current reduction in GET-SBDs by improving electrostatic control through anode recessing. GET-SBDs with six ALE cycles achieved a median leakage of ~1 nA/mm and a forward voltage of 1.3 V. The ALE process can create variations at the AlGaN surface, leading to a larger spread of VF and RON. Dynamic characterization shows stable forward characteristics with a small ALE-dependence.
研究不足
The study is limited to Au-free AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diodes with gated edge termination on 200-mm silicon substrates. The control of the remaining AlGaN thickness and surface quality after six ALE cycles presents challenges.
