Abstract
High-breakdown voltage Au/Pt/GaN diode rectifiers were fabricated on epilayers grown by metallorganic chemical vapor deposition. Reverse breakdown voltages of 550 and >2000 V were demonstrated with vertically depleting structures and lateral devices respectively. Figures-of-merit in the range 4.2 to 4.8 MW/cm-2 were also achieved. Reverse leakage currents and forward on-voltages still exceeded theoretical minimum values, but were nevertheless comparable to SiC Schottky rectifiers.
