Problems solved by technology

Compared with GaAs, the research on (GaN)-based Schottky diode (SBD) terahertz devices and frequency conversion circuits is still in its infancy, especially the direction of on-chip integrated GaN-based SBD terahertz frequency conversion circuits. Due to the special hexagonal crystal system of GaN materials Due to structural and anti-corrosion characteristics, it is difficult to realize a GaAs-like substrate-free membrane (membrance) on-chip integration process through a selective wet etching process
However, in the GaAs-based SBD terahertz on-chip integrated frequency conversion circuit, due to the existence of the bonding glue, the large amount of heat generated in the Schottky junction and the LO oscillator cannot be quickly dissipated, resulting in the reliability and reliability of the device. High-power applications are limited. At the same time, due to the large stress in epitaxial GaN, it is difficult to thin gallium nitride (GaN) materials to less than 30 microns without cracking through thinning and polishing processes.
Therefore, there is no clear technical solution for on-chip integration of GaN-based SBD terahertz frequency conversion circuits.
