The planar gunn diode comprises an AlGaN back barrier layer, a GaN channellayer, an AlGaN barrier layer, an ohmic contact positive electrode, an ohmic contact negative electrode and a Schottky extension layer, wherein the GaN channel layer is arranged on the AlGaN back barrier layer, the AlGaN barrier layer is arranged on the GaN channel layer, the ohmic contact positive electrode and the ohmic contact negative electrode are respectively arranged at two ends of the AlGaN back barrier layer, the GaN channel layer and the AlGaN barrier layer, and the Schottky extension layer is arranged on the AlGaN barrier layer and covers the ohmic contact positive electrode. The Schottky extension layer of the planar gunn diode forms a depletion layer in a channel of the planar gunn diode, the strength of high-energy dipole domain is reduced, so that the energy of electronic domain is dispersed, the collision ionization of a positive electrode end of the planar gunn diode is reduced, heat generation is buffered, the self-heating effect of a device is further effectively prevented, and the negative resistance effect, the power and the frequency of the device are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductors, and in particular relates to a GaN planar Gunn diode based on a composite heat dissipation anode and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Gunn diode devices or electron transfer devices (TEDs) are considered to be excellent microwave and lower millimeter wave (30GHz-100GHz) signal source devices, and have been recognized by more and more people since they were first confirmed by J.B. Gunn in 1963 focus on. Compared with traditional signal source devices, such as klystrons, magnetrons, and return wave oscillators, Gunn diodes are smaller in size, simpler in structure, and lower in power consumption. In the development of more than 50 years, Gunn diode has become one of the most widely used microwave signal sources, widely used in industry, science, medical and military fields. [0003] In the study of Gunn diodes, planar Gunn devices have gradually attracted attention. Due t...

Problems solved by technology

In the isothermal energy balance model (EB mode), the electronic domain is a dipole domain mode, corresponding to the maximum power output; while in the non-isothermal energy balance model (NEB mode), the electronic domain decays into a dipole domain-accumulation domain transition mode , to further increase the voltage and intensify the self-heating effect, the electronic domains are completely attenuated into accumulation domain modes, and the output power is greatly reduced
