Abstract

New Group III based diodes are disclosed having a low on state voltage (Vf) and structures to keep reverse current (Irev) relatively low. One embodiment of the invention is Schottky barrier diode (10) made from the GaN material system in which the Fermi level (or surface potential) of is not pinned. The barrier potential (33) at the metal-to-semiconductor junction varies depending on the type of metal (16) used and using particular metals lowers the diode's Schottky barrier potential (33) and results in a Vf in the range of 0.1-0.3V. In another embodiment (40) a trench structure (45) is formed on the Schottky diodes semiconductor material (44) to reduce reverse leakage current and comprises a number of parallel, equally spaced trenches (46) with mesa regions (49) between adjacent trenches (46). A third embodiment of the invention provides a GaN tunnel diode with a low Vf resulting from the tunneling of electrons through the barrier potential (81), instead of over it. An embodiment of the tunnel diode (120) can also have a trench structure (121) to reduce reverse leakage current.
