Abstract
- Herein, the operation of dopant‐free GaN‐based p‐n junctions formed by distributed polarization doping (DPD) is experimentally demonstrated and their space charge profiles and carrier transport properties are investigated. The device exhibits ideal space charge profiles explained by polarization effects and demonstrates the excellent controllability of DPD. In addition, it shows rectification and electroluminescence under forward‐biased conditions. The carrier transport properties could be explained by the conventional recombination/diffusion model used for impurity‐doped p‐n junctions. Repeatable breakdowns are also observed in all devices and the temperature‐dependent breakdown voltages reveal that the breakdowns are caused by avalanche multiplication, which is also the same as those reported in impurity‐doped GaN p‐n diodes. These results indicate that DPD is a promising doping technology for GaN‐based power devices overcoming any issues associated with conventional impurity doping. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
