Popis: In this brief, a high-performance quasi-vertical GaN Schottky barrier diode (SBD) on sapphire substrate with post-mesa nitridation process is reported, featuring a low damaged sidewall with extremely low leakage current. The fabricated SBD with a drift layer of ${1}~\mu \text{m}$ has achieved a very high ON/ OFF current ratio ( ${I}_{ \mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle ON}}/{I}_{ \mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle OFF}}{)}$ of $10^{{12}}$ with a low leakage current of $\sim 10^{-{9}}$ A/cm2@-10 V, high forward current density of 5.2 kA/cm2 at 3 V in dc, a low differential specific ON-resistance ( ${R}_{ \mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle ON},\text {sp}}{)}$ of 0.3 $\text{m}\Omega \cdot $ cm2, and ideality factor of 1.04. In addition, a transmission-line-pulse (TLP) ${I}$ – ${V}$ test was carried out and 53 kA/cm2 at 30 V in pulsed measurement was obtained without device failure, exhibiting a great potential for high power applications.
