We report the electrical properties, deep trap spectra, and diffusion lengths of non-equilibrium carriers in Ni Schottky diodes and NiO/Ga2O3 heterojunctions (HJs) prepared on the same n−/n+ β-Ga2O3 epi structures. The heterojunctions decrease the reverse current of Ga2O3 high-power rectifiers. In HJs, in contrast to Schottky diodes, the capacitance and AC conductance show a prominent frequency and temperature dependence, suggesting the presence of two temperature activation processes with activation energies of 0.17 and 0.1 eV. The deep trap spectra of the Schottky diodes and HJs differ by the absence in the HJ of deep electron traps E2* with level near Ec − 0.7 eV considered to be an important center of non-radiative recombination. This correlates with the observed increase in the diffusion length of non-equilibrium charge carriers in the HJs to 370 nm compared to 240 nm in the Schottky diodes. The diffusion length of charge carriers in p-NiO was found to be quite short, 30 nm. Possible reasons for the observed differences and possible origin of the minority-trap-like feature commonly reported to be present in the deep level spectra of HJs and also observed in our experiments are discussed.
