Space-charge region, part depletion anode electrode edge lower section are formed using p-GaN and the GaN base N-shaped barrier layer of unintentional doping
Two-dimensional electron gas, offset the electric field that is formed under high back voltage and concentrate.But due to the etching between p-GaN and AlGaN potential barrier
It selects smaller, brings certain difficulty for device technology.
