Popis: Schottky rectifiers fabricated on GaN layers grown on 4 in. diam Si substrates show breakdown voltages (V R ) of ∼ 300 V at room temperature, on-state resistances (R ON ) of 40 mΩ cm 2 , and figure-of-merit (V B ) 2 /R ON of 2.25 MW/cm 2 . The reverse current is thermally activated with activation energies in the range 0.3-0.4 eV and is proportional to contact perimeter at reverse biases up to ∼100 V. This approach provides a low-cost alternative to GaN rectifiers on sapphire or SiC substrates while still maintaining good breakdown characteristics.
