摘要
研究了 GaN pi-n 二极管中过大的正向漏电流。传统的扩散机制在 VF > 2 V 时占主导地位。在 1.35 V < VF < 2 V 时,阱辅助隧穿过程变得重要,其表意系数仍大于 4。在 T = 400 K 时,阱辅助隧道过程变得非常重要,其意念系数仍然大于 4;在 VF = 0.8 V 时,在较低偏压下观察到两个不同的幂律关系,其指数分别为 ∼8 和 ∼4。这种行为与空间电荷限制模型十分吻合,其特点是导带以下的阱态分布呈指数衰减。
Excessive forward leakage currents in GaN p-i-n diodes were investigated. Traditional diffusion mechanism dominates at VF > 2 V. The effective band gap is derived to be ∼2.21 eV, which is much lower than 3.4 eV and attributed to a band fluctuation caused by dislocations; At 1.35 V < VF < 2 V, a trap-assisted tunneling process becomes important, whose ideality factor is still larger than 4.1 at T = 400 K; Two distinct power-law relationships were observed at lower biases, separated at VF = 0.8 V, whose exponents are extracted to be ∼8 and ∼4, respectively. The behavior is in a good agreement with the space-charge-limited model, featuring an exponentially decaying distribution of trap states below the conduction band.
