High-performance hybrid anode diodes with Al0.25GaN0.75N/Al0.15Ga0.85N/GaN heterostructures
GaN hybrid anode diodes (HADs) have been extensively investigated for power applications. However, the problems of high turn-on voltage (VON) and high specific on-resistance (RON,sp) in GaN HADs caused by electron-electron scattering restrict further performance enhancements. In this work, high-performance Al0.25Ga0.75N/Al0.15Ga0.85N/GaN HADs have been successfully fabricated. Unlike traditional single Al-component AlGaN/GaN heterostructures, the Al0.25Ga0.75N/Al0.15Ga0.85N/GaN heterostructures with layers progressively stacked according to step-graded Al components are proposed. The multilayer heterostructures generate multiple two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channels, effectively broadening the conductive paths and enhancing electron mobility by reducing electron-electron scattering. The as-prepared Al0.25Ga0.75N/Al0.15Ga0.85N/GaN HADs present a low VON of 0.2 V and a low reverse current density of 2.52 nA/mm at an anode bias of −500 V. Moreover, the devices also exhibit a low RON,sp of 0.31 mΩ·cm2 with a high breakdown voltage (BV) of 868 V and a Baliga’s figure-of-merit (BFOM) of 2.41 GW/cm2. These results show the Al0.25Ga0.75N/Al0.15Ga0.85N/GaN HADs are promising for next-generation power applications.
