Nonpolar vertical GaN-on-GaN p–n diodes grown on free-standing $(10\bar{1}0)$ m-plane GaN substrates
2018
We report nonpolar vertical GaN-on-GaN p–n diodes grown on m-plane free-standing substrates. Cathodoluminescence measurements showed that the nonpolar p-GaN had a high quality with very few deep-level states. The device exhibited good rectifying behaviors with a turn-on voltage of 4.0 V, on-resistance of 2.3 mΩcm2, and high on/off ratio of 1010. The reverse current leakage was described by a trap-assisted space-charge-limited current conduction mechanism. The critical electrical field was calculated to be 2.0 MV/cm without field plates or edge termination. These results pave the way for development of novel nonpolar power electronics and polarization-engineering-related advanced power devices.
