Abstract

Vertical Schottky barrier diodes (SBD) were fabricated on 1a 5 μm thick GaN drift layer (DL) with and without Mg-compensation grown by metal organic chemical vapour deposition on free-standing hydride vapour phase epitaxy grown substrate. The SBDs with Mg-compensated DL exhibited ∼3.4 × higher breakdown voltage (Vbd) than the SBDs with conventional DL. The activation energy of 0.43 eV from the SBD with Mg-compensated DL can be correlated to the presence of Mg. The reverse current conduction mechanism of SBDs with Mg-compensated DL and conventional DL was dominated by thermionic field emission (TFE) and barrier modified TFE, respectively.
