7.86 kV GaN-on-GaN PN Power Diode with BaTiO3 for Electrical Field Management

Device based on GaN have great potential for high power switching applications due to its high breakdown field and high electron mobility. In this work, we present the device design of a vertical GaN-on-GaN PN power diode using high dielectric constant (high-k) dielectrics for electrical field management and high breakdown voltages, in together with guard-rings and a field plate. The fabricated diodes with a 57 um thick drift layer demonstrated a breakdown voltage of 7.86 kV on a bulk GaN substrate. The device has an on-resistance of 2.8 mohm.cm2 and a Baliga figure of merit of 22 GW/cm2.

Velocity Saturation in La-doped BaSnO3 Thin Films

BaSnO_{3}, a high mobility perovskite oxide, is an attractive material for oxide-based electronic devices. However, in addition to low-field mobility, high-field transport properties such as the saturation velocity of carriers play a major role in determining device performance. We report on the experimental measurement of electron saturation velocity in La-doped BaSnO_{3} thin films for a range of doping densities. Predicted saturation velocities based on a simple LO-phonon emission model using an effective LO phonon energy of 120 meV show good agreement with measurements of velocity saturation in La-doped BaSnO_{3} films.. Density-dependent saturation velocity in the range of 1.6x10^{7} cm/s reducing to 2x10^{6} cm/s is predicted for δ-doped BaSnO3 channels with carrier densities ranging from 10^{13} cm^{-2} to 2x10^{14} cm^{-2} respectively. These results are expected to aid the informed design of BaSnO3 as the active material for high-charge density electronic transistors.
