High-k Dielectric Passivation for GaN Diode with a Field Plate Termination

Vertical structured Gallium nitride (GaN) p-n junction diodes with improved breakdown properties have been demonstrated using high-k dielectric passivation underneath the field plate. Simulation results at a reverse voltage of 1 kV showed that the maximum electric field near the mesa-etched p-n junc...
