Abstract
The development of next-generation materials such as hBN and Ga2O3 remains a topic of intense focus owing to their suitability for efficient deep ultraviolet (DUV) emission and power electronic applications. In this study, we combine p-type hBN and n-type Ga2O3, forming a pseudo-vertical pn hBN/Ga2O3 heterojunction device. Rectification ratios > 105 (300K) and [Formula: see text]400 (475K) are observed and are amongst the highest values reported to date for ultra-thin hBN-based pn junctions. The measured current under forward bias is ~2mA, which we attribute to the shallow Mg acceptor level (60 meV), and 0.2 µA at -10V. Critically, device performance remains stable and highly repeatable after a multitude of temperature ramps to 475K. Capacitance-voltage measurements indicate widening the depletion region under increasing reverse bias voltage and a built-in voltage of 2.34V is recorded. The hBN p-type characteristic is confirmed by Hall effect, a hole concentration of [Formula: see text] cm-3 and mobility of 24.8 cm2/Vs is achieved. Mg doped hBN resistance reduces by >108 compared to intrinsic material. Future work shall focus on the optical emission properties of this material system.
