  2. Abstract This letter reports the demonstration and electrical characterization of high-voltage AlN metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs) on single-crystal AlN substrates. Compared with AlN MESFETs on foreign substrates, the AlN-on-AlN MESFETs showed high breakdown voltages of over 2 kV for drain-to-gate spacing of 15 μm and one of the highest average breakdown fields among reported AlN MESFETs. Additionally, the devices also exhibited decent drain saturation current and on/off ratio without complicated regrown or graded contact layers, which are several times higher than those of reported AlN-on-sapphire MESEFTs. This work is beneficial for the future development of ultrawide bandgap AlN power electronics.

  3. Abstract This letter reports the demonstration of lateral AlN Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) on single-crystal AlN substrates by metalorganic CVD (MOCVD) with an ultra-low ideality factor (η) of 1.65, a high Schottky barrier height of 1.94 eV, a breakdown voltage (BV) of 640 V, and a record high normalizedBVby the anode-to-cathode distance. The device current was dominated by thermionic emission, while most previously reported AlN SBDs suffered from defect-induced current with higherη(>4). This work represents a significant step towards high-performance ultra-wide bandgap AlN-based high-voltage and high-power devices.
