In this paper, a redesigned epitaxial layer structure with a regular hexagonal trench gate layout was proposed to reduce the specific on-resistance to as low as 1.8 mΩcm2 while obtaining a sufficient blocking voltage for 1.2kV-class operation.
Abstract
In this paper, we report on 1.2-kV-class vertical GaN-based trench metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) on a free-standing GaN substrate with a low specific on-resistance. A redesigned epitaxial layer structure following our previous work with a regular hexagonal trench gate layout enables us to reduce the specific on-resistance to as low as 1.8 mΩcm2 while obtaining a sufficient blocking voltage for 1.2-kV-class operation. Normally-off operation with a threshold voltage of 3.5 V is also demonstrated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on vertical GaN-based MOSFETs with a specific on-resistance of less than 2 mΩcm2.

Hole Compensation Mechanism of P-Type GaN Films

TL;DR: In this paper, a hydrogenation process whereby acceptor-H neutral complexes are formed in p-type GaN films was proposed, which causes hole compensation, and deep-level and weak blue emissions in photoluminescence.
