1.4-kV Quasi-Vertical GaN Schottky Barrier Diode With Reverse <italic>p-n</italic> Junction Termination

In this paper, we demonstrate high-performance quasi-vertical GaN-on-Sapphire Schottky barrier diodes (SBD) with a reverse GaN <italic>p-n</italic> junction termination (RPN). The SBD has a current output of 1 kA/cm<sup>2</sup> at <inline-formula> <tex-math notation=...

Finally, the leakage current of the SBD is inhibited and the breakdown voltage is increased.
