Abstrakt: As a promising ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor, the β-phase of Ga2O3 has attracted more and more interest in the field of power electronics due to its ultra-wide bandgap (4.8 eV), high theoretical breakdown electric field (8 MV/cm), and large Baliga's figure of merit, which is deemed as a potential candidate for next generation high-power electronics, including diodes, field effect transistors (FETs), etc. In this article, we introduce the basic material properties of Ga2O3, and review the recent progress and advances of β-Ga2O3 based metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (mosfets). Due to the problematic p-type doping technology up to now, the enhancement-mode (E-mode) β-Ga2O3 FETs face more difficulties, compared with depletion mode (D-mode). This article focuses on reviewing the recent progress of E-mode Ga2O3 mosfets, summarizing and comparing various feasible solutions when p-type doping is absent. Furthermore, the device fabrication and performances of state-of-art β-Ga2O3 mosfets, including D-mode, E-mode, and planar/vertical structure are fully discussed and compared, as well as potential solutions to the challenges of Ga2O3 FETs.
