Abstract

Type conversion of p-GaN by direct Si+ ion implantation and subsequent annealing was demonstrated by the fabrication of lateral Schottky diodes. The Si+ activation percentage was measured as a function of annealing time (30-300 sec) and temperature (1,000-1,200°C), reaching a maximum of ∼30% for 1,200°C, 2-min anneals. The resulting n-type carrier concentration was 1.1 × 1018 cm-3 for a moderate Si+ ion dose of ∼2 × 1014 cm-2. The lateral Schottky diodes displayed a negative temperature coefficient of -0.15 V·K for reverse breakdown voltage.
