摘要: There is a great interest in monolithic GaN semiconductor devices with high current capability for power electronics. In this letter, large area vertical p-n diodes fabricated on bulk substrates are discussed. Diodes areas as 16 ${\rm mm}^{2}$ breakdown voltages exceeding 700 V and pulsed (100 $\mu{\rm s}$ ) currents approaching 400 A reported. This made possible the first time part due to recent availability of improved quality substrates.
