AbstractWe investigated an AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diode (SBD) with a field plate structure for a high breakdown voltage. The AlGaN/GaN heterostructure was grown by MOCVD. The AlGaN buffer was grown on the Si (111) substrate and Al0.25Ga0.75N (25 nm)/ GaN (1000 nm) was grown on the buffer layer. The AlGaN/GaN heterostructure without any crack was obtained. After that, a Schottky barrier diode was fabricated using an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure. In order to obtain a high breakdown voltage, a gate field plate structure was used. SiO2 was formed on the AlGaN layer using a plasma chemical vapor deposition. The Schottky electrode of Ni/Au was partially deposited on the SiO2 film towards the ohmic region. The length of field plate structure was also changed to investigate the effect. Ti/Al-silicide was used for an ohmic electrode of SBD. The contact resistance of ohmic electrodes was 8E-6 ohmcm2.The current-voltage characteristics of an AlGaN/GaN SBD were measured. The reverse breakdown voltage of the diode was also over 1000 V and the reverse leakage current was below 1.5E-6 A/mm.

In this letter, a high breakdown voltage GaN HEMT device fabricated on semi-insulating self-standing GaN substrate is presented. High quality AlGaN/GaN epilayer was grown on self-standing GaN substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. A 0.8μm gate length GaN HEMT device was fabricated with oxygen plasma treatment. By using oxygen plasma treatment, gate forward working voltage is increased, and a breakdown voltage of more than 170V is demonstrated. The measured maximum drain current of the device is larger than 700 mA/mm at 4V gate bias voltage. The maximum transconductance of the device is 162 mS/mm. In addition, high frequency performance of the GaN HEMT device is also obtained. The current gain cutoff frequency and power gain cutoff frequency are 19.7 GHz and 32.8 GHz, respectively. A high fT-LG product of 15.76 GHzμm indicating that homoepitaxy technology is helpful to improve the frequency performance of the device.
