Abstract

Thermal properties of the AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diodes were investigated, using a pulsed-IV measurement technique. The thermally degraded mobility in the DC-bias configuration was restored, when the pulse-bias voltages were applied. It was observed that heat generation was minimized, using a pulse width of 500 ns and pulse period of 10 ms. For the SBDs consisting of 5 μm of anode-cathode distance, on-resistance measured by the pulse-IV and DC-IV were 1.6 and 6.2 Ω-mm, respectively. We also demonstrated the device-width dependence of the thermal properties of the SBDs. We found that the performance of the power devices can be greatly influenced by the heat generation.
