Description:

(abstract)

We report the demonstration of fully vertical AlN Schottky barrier diodes using n-type SiC substrates. We show that Schottky-barrier diodes (SBDs) and metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors with Si-implanted AlN channels can operate at 1100 K and 1000 K, respectively. The breakdown voltage and barrier height of the AlN SBD were 610 V and 3.5 eV, respectively. We found that the high barrier height and thermal stability of the Ni contact on AlN greatly contributed to high-temperature operation of the devices.
