摘要: Vertical diodes with breakdown voltages up to 2.6kV have been fabricated on bulk GaN substrates. The measured figures-of-merit of these devices show performance near the theoretical limit GaN. These vertical exhibit robust avalanche behavior a positive temperature coefficient. System-level advantages demonstrated in power conversion applications. Statistical data collected from thousands devices. Initial reliability tests completed.
