1-kV vertical Ga2O3 field-plated Schottky barrier diodes

Abstract

Ga2O3 field-plated Schottky barrier diodes (FP-SBDs) were fabricated on a Si-doped n−-Ga2O3 drift layer grown by halide vapor phase epitaxy on a Sn-doped n+-Ga2O3 (001) substrate. The specific on-resistance of the Ga2O3 FP-SBD was estimated to be 5.1 mΩ·cm2. Successful field-plate engineering resulted in a high breakdown voltage of 1076 V. A larger-than-expected effective barrier height of 1.46 eV, which was extracted from the temperature-dependent current–voltage characteristics, could be caused by the effect of fluorine atoms delivered in a hydrofluoric acid solution process.
