Technical Field
Gallium oxide, as a new ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor material, has a large bandgap, and thus a high theoretical breakdown field is becoming an interesting research hotspot. With the research progress of material growth, the growth cost of cheap massive single crystals and the increasing epitaxial technology all lead the scale production of gallium oxide materials to be in the initial form and have great development potential. The larger forbidden band width enables the power electronic device to have lower power loss and higher conversion efficiency in application, thereby achieving rapid development.
With the rapid development of the gallium oxide single crystal growth technology and the realization of high-quality epitaxy and controllable n-type doping technology, the gallium oxide has wide application prospects in the field of power electronic devices. Although the maximum breakdown electric field of the currently reported gallium oxide device exceeds the theoretical limit of GaN and SiC, the maximum breakdown electric field is far away from the theoretical limit of gallium oxide, and the voltage resistance of gallium oxide has a great promotion space.
