研究目的
To demonstrate high-performance lateral GaN power Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) based on a novel multi-channel tri-gate architecture, achieving significant reduction in ON-resistance and forward voltage, along with ultra-low leakage current and high breakdown voltage.
研究成果
The multi-channel tri-gate GaN-on-Si power SBDs presented small RON and VF, due to the multiple 2DEG channels, and large VBR and ultra-low IR, thanks to the tri-gate, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance for 600 V/650 V ratings.
研究不足
The study does not discuss the scalability of the multi-channel tri-gate architecture for industrial production or its performance under extreme environmental conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed periodic AlGaN/GaN heterostructures with multiple 2DEG channels to reduce the RON and VF. 3D tri-anode and tri-gate electrodes were implemented to contact and control the multi-channels.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The multi-channel AlGaN/GaN heterostructure consisted of 5 parallel 2DEG channels, each composed of 10 nm AlGaN barrier, 1 nm AlN spacer and 10 nm GaN channel layers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The heterostructure was grown on Si substrate with a 4.3 μm-thick buffer layer. The anode region was selectively patterned into fins with designed height of 200 nm and width of 50 nm, using Ar/Cl2-based inductively coupled plasma etching.

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The tri-anode contacts the multi-channels through the fin sidewalls, resulting in a small VON. The tri-gate/tri-anode regions shield the sidewall Schottky junction from the high electric fields under large reverse biases to reduce IR.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the multi-channel tri-gate SBDs was analyzed in terms of RON, VF, IR, and VBR, and compared with counterpart single-channel devices.
