$SiO_2$ 패시베이션 층에 As+ 이온을 주입한 1.2 kV급 AlGaN/GaN 쇼트키 장벽 다이오드( Schottky Barrier Diode, SBD )를 제작하였다. 주입된 As+ 이온들은 역방향 바이어스에서 공핍 영역의 곡률을 변화 시켰고, 이로 인해 항복 전압이 증가하고 누설 전류가 감소하였다. 제안된 소자의 항복전압이 1204 V 이었고, 기존 소자의 항복전압은 604 V 이었다. 캐소드 전압이 100 V일 때 제안된 소자의 누설전류는 21.2 nA/mm 이었고, 같은 조건에서 제안된 소자는 $80.3{\mu}A/mm$ 이었다. 주입된 As+ 양이온은 이차원 전자 가스( Two-Dimensional Electron Gas, 2DEG )에 전자를 유도했고, 채널의 농도가 미세하게 증가하였다. 따라서 순방향 전류가 증가하였다.

Monolithically integrated devices are strongly desired in next generation power ICs to reduce the chip size and improve the efficiency and frequency response. Three examples of the embedment of different functional diode(s) into AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field-effect transistors are presented, which can minimize the parasitic effects caused by interconnection between devices.

We investigated the improvement in electrical characteristics of large AlGaN/GaN on Si Schottky barrier diode (SBD) induced by structural change to achieve a better trade-off between the forward and reverse performance to obtain high power conversion efficiency in PFC converter. Using an optimized dry etch condition for a large device, we fabricated three-types of SBD with 63 mm channel width: conventional, recessed, recessed dual-anode-metal SBD. The recessed dual-anode-metal SBD exhibited a very low turn-on voltage of 0.34 V, a high forward current of 1.63 A at 1.5 V, a leakage current of $114{\mu}A$ at -15 V, a breakdown voltage of 794 V.

We have investigated the electrical properties of Ru/Ni/n-GaN Schottky structure using current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements at room temperature. The barrier height (${\Phi}_{bo}$) and ideality factor (n) of Ru/Ni/n-GaN Schottky structure are found to be 0.66 eV and 1.44, respectively. The ${\Phi}_{bo}$ and the series resistance ($R_S$) obtained from Cheung's method are compared with modified Norde's method, and it is seen that there is a good agreement with each other. The energy distribution of interface state density ($N_{SS}$) is determined from the I-V measurements by taking into account the bias dependence of the effective barrier height. Further, the interface state density $N_{SS}$ as determined by Terman's method is found to be $2.14{\times}10^{12}\;cm^{-2}\;eV^{-1}$ for the Ru/Ni/n-GaN diode. Results show that the interface state density and series resistance has a significant effect on the electrical characteristics of studied diode.

Compared with Si MOSFETs, the GaN FET has many advantages in a wide band gap, high saturation drift velocity, high critical breakdown field, etc. This paper compares the electrical properties of GaN FETs and Si MOSFETs. The soft-switching condition and power loss analysis in a flyback-forward high gain DC/DC converter with a GaN FET is presented in detail. In addition, a comparison between GaN diodes and Si diodes is made. Finally, a 200W GaN FET based flyback-forward high gain DC/DC converter is established, and experimental results verify that the GaN FET is superior to the Si MOSFET in terms of switching characteristics and efficiency. They also show that the GaN diode is better than the Si diode when it comes to reverse recovery characteristics.

In this paper, GaN-SBD devices with excellent breakdown voltage and frequency characteristics for use in high-power microwave wireless power transmission has been modeled for PSpice circuit simulation. The RF-DC conversion circuits were simulated and compared with a commercial Si-SBD device. Although the modeled GaN-SBD devices had lower RF-DC conversion efficiency compared to Si-SBD at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, it was confirmed through PSpice circuit simulations that they can be used sufficiently according to the required application circuit in a high power situation.

본 연구에서는 최근 차세대 전력 반도체로 관심을 받고 있는 단결정 ${\beta}-Ga_2O_3$를 이용한 쇼트키 배리어 다이오드 제작 및 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 쇼트키 배리어 다이오드는 Sn으로 도핑된 $2{\mu}m$ 두께의 저농도 N 타입 에피층 상에 Pt/Ti/Au 쇼트키 접합으로 제작되었으며 측정된 특성은 > 180 V의 항복전압, $1.26m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$의 온 저항, 그리고 1 V의 순 방향 전압에서 $77A/cm^2$, 1.5 V에서 $473A/cm^2$의 순방향 전류 특성을 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통하여 단결정 ${\beta}-Ga_2O_3$의 전력반도체 활용 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

A $Pt/Al_xGa_{l-x}N$ Schottky type Ultra-violet photodetector was modeled and simulated using the commercial SILVACO software program. In the carrier transport, we applied field model and other analytic model to determine the electron saturation velocity and low field mobility for GaN and $Al_xGa_{l-x}N$. A C-Interpreter function was defined to described the mole-fraction for the ternary compound semiconductor such as $Al_xGa_{l-x}N$. As comparing the simulated and experimental results, we found that the simulated result for type-1 has $15.9 nA/cm^2$ of leakage current at 5V. We confirmed a good agreement of photo-current in the UV Photo-detector, while applying the absorption coefficient and reflective index of active $Al_xGa_{l-x}N$ and other layers. There had been an intensive search for the proper refractive indices of the layers.
