Abstract
This paper describes the development of vertical GaN PN diodes for high-voltage applications. A centerpiece of this work is the creation of a foundry effort that incorporates epitaxial growth, wafer metrology, device design, processing, and characterization, and reliability evaluation and failure analysis. A parallel effort aims to develop very high voltage (up to 20 kV) GaN PN diodes for use as devices to protect the electric grid against electromagnetic pulses.
