Abstract

In this work, we present the fabrication of a fully vertical β-Ga2O3 Schottky barrier diode with junction termination extension (JTE-SBD) utilizing a p-GaN layer produced by sputtering, offering a solution to the absence of p-Ga2O3 materials. The p-GaN/n-Ga2O3 JTE-SBD demonstrates a turn-on voltage (Von) of 0.8 V, a specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) of 6.15 mΩ·cm2, an ideality factor (n) of 1.24, a breakdown voltage of 3 kV, and a Baliga's Figure of Merit of 1.46 GW/cm2. The current–voltage–temperature (I–V–T) testing has confirmed a transition in the dominant leakage mechanisms from the Poole–Frenkel mechanism to variable-range hopping.
