Technical Field
Because only most carriers participate in the conduction of the Schottky barrier diode, the reverse recovery time is very short, and the Schottky barrier diode is very suitable for switching power supplies and high-frequency occasions. As the operating frequency of the circuit increases, the performance of the schottky barrier diode must also increase to maintain high power conversion efficiency. Due to the excellent material properties of GaN, such as high breakdown field strength, good thermal properties, and high electron mobility, GaN-based schottky barrier diodes have received much attention from researchers in high power and high frequency applications. In recent years, a great deal of constructive research work has been carried out at home and abroad on high-performance GaN schottky barrier diodes, and particularly, the lateral AlGaN/GaN schottky barrier diode is widely researched due to the advantage that the lateral AlGaN/GaN schottky barrier diode is compatible with the plane process of the AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor. The lateral AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diode is beneficial to realizing the monolithic integration of the Schottky barrier diode device and the high electron mobility transistor device, thereby reducing parasitic elements and increasing the flexibility of design.
