Vertical β-Ga2O3 Schottky diodes from metal-organic chemical vapor deposition with low on-resistance and high average breakdown field

Vertical β-Ga2O3 Schottky diodes from metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) epitaxy are reported for high-power devices. The field plate Schottky barrier diode (SBD) showed a differential specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) of 0.67 mΩ-cm2 and an average breakdown electric field of 2.28 MV/cm. To the best of our knowledge, this Ron,sp is the lowest among the available vertical β-Ga2O3 SBD reports, and contributed from the high-mobility MOCVD β-Ga2O3 epitaxy. Moreover, the average electric field of 2.28 MV/cm is higher compared to most of the vertical β-Ga2O3 punch-through SBDs. These results suggest that the high-quality MOCVD β-Ga2O3 can be promising for high-power devices.
