Ga 2 O 3 The power semiconductor device is used as a potential semiconductor element, plays roles of rectification, amplification and switching in a circuit, can be applied to power supplies of various devices, driving loads and pulse power regulation systems of electronic devices in the future, and has important potential application value in the fields of new energy, rail transit and aerospace. The fields of space electric propulsion and electric energy management put great demands on high-performance power electronic devices, and gallium oxide devices are an important choice for meeting the demands.
The diode is Ga 2 O 3 One of the main research contents of electronic power devices, in the field of high voltage-withstanding and high-power application, a power diode device plays a crucial role. With the continuous progress of technology, higher requirements are put on various aspects of diode performance, especially higher and higher requirements on reverse breakdown voltage and on-resistance. The reverse breakdown voltage and the on-resistance of the diode device directly affect the practical application of the device. Fig. 1 shows a conventional gan schottky diode without a termination structure, in which the breakdown voltage of the device is lower than ideal because the electric field is concentrated at the edge and surface, and the electric field intensity at the edge of the junction is higher than that in the interior of the junction. Gallium oxide power devices currently require the use of appropriate termination structures to reduce the electric field at the edges and surfaces of the semiconductor, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage of the device. Common termination techniques include metalsThe field plate, the field limiting ring, the combination of the field plate and the field limiting ring, the floating metal ring, the groove and the bevel angle structure.
