Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor power electronic devices, and particularly discloses a GaN-based power diode and a preparation method thereof. The GaN-based power diode comprises a GaN substrate, a GaN epitaxial layer, first metal structures and a second metal structure, wherein the GaN substrate has first doping concentration; the GaN epitaxial layer is located on the GaN substrate and has second doping concentration; the second doping concentration is smaller than the first doping concentration; the first metal structures are distributed on the GaN epitaxial layer or in the GaN epitaxial layer at predetermined intervals; the second metal structure is formed on the first metal structures and the GaN epitaxial layer; the first metal structures and the GaN epitaxial layer form high barrier schottky contact; and the second metal structure and the GaN epitaxial layer form low barrier schottky contact. The GaN-based power diode has good reliability and relatively high reverse breakdown voltage when P-type doping on a GaN material is omitted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor power electronic devices, and in particular relates to a GaN-based power diode and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of information technology, high-power electronic devices such as power switches and power rectifiers have been widely used in various fields of national economy. As a substitute for traditional silicon-based power devices, power devices based on the third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor GaN materials have attracted much attention because of their excellent material properties and device structure. GaN materials have a large bandgap and electron mobility. Good thermal stability and chemical stability, so it has a wide application prospect in the field of high power and high frequency, and has attracted attention and research. Today, breakthroughs have been made in GaN-based high electron mobility transistors, but the r...
