High-temperature characteristics of AlxGa1-xN/GaN Schottky diodes

High-temperature characteristics of the metal/AlxGa1-xN/GaN M/S/S (M/S/S) diodes have been studied with current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements at high temperatures. Due to the presence of the piezoelectric polarization field and a quantum well at the AlxGa1-xN/GaN interface...

Description
Summary:High-temperature characteristics of the metal/AlxGa1-xN/GaN M/S/S (M/S/S) diodes have been studied with current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements at high temperatures. Due to the presence of the piezoelectric polarization field and a quantum well at the AlxGa1-xN/GaN interface, the AlxGal-xN/GaN diodes show properties distinctly different from those of the AlxGa1-xN diodes. For the AlxGa1-xN/GaN diodes, an increase in temperature accompanies an increase in barrier height and a decrease in ideality factor, while the AlxGa1-xN diodes are opposite. Furthermore, at room temperature, both reverse leakage current and reverse breakdown voltage are superior for the AlxGa1-xN/GaN diodes to those for the AlxGa1-xN diodes.
