High breakdown M–I–M structures on bulk AlN
نویسندگان
چکیده
The breakdown characteristics of metal-AlN-metal structures are reported as a function of contact diameter. The bulk AlN was grown by a HVPE method, resulting in a resistivity of 4 10 X cm. Front-side contact diameters of 175–600 lm were fabricated, displaying breakdown voltages up to 6300 V at 25 C. Breakdown appeared to initiate at internal surfaces related to grain boundaries or cracks in the material. The results indicate the great promise of the Al(Ga)N system for high power rectifiers. 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Deep-uv Transparent Bulk Single-crystalline Aln Substrates
Bulk aluminium nitride (AlN) is a very promising substrate material for UV optoelectronics based on AlGaN ternary compounds. AlN single crystals exceeding 1'' in diameter can now be grown by physical vapour transport (PVT). UV transparency is of high interest for UV devices designed to emit through the substrate. We report on 500 μm thick bulk AlN substrates with plain UV transmittance of 50% (...

A 3-terminal breakdown voltage of 2.3 kV has been achieved on an AlN/GaN heterostructure grown on silicon (111) substrate using an optimized local substrate removal. The epitaxy was grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition with a total buffer thickness of 5.5 μm. In order to suppress the parasitic substrate conduction phenomena under high electric field, the Si substrate has been locall...
متن کاملFirst principles phase diagram calculations for the wurtzite-structure quasibinary systems SiC-AlN, SiC-GaN and SiC-InN
The cluster-expansion method was used to perform first principles phase diagram calculations for the wurtzite-structure quasibinary systems (SiC)1 X(AlN)X, (SiC)1 X (GaN)X and (SiC)1 X(InN)X; and to model variations of band gaps as functions of bulk compositions and temperature. In SiC-AlN, plane wave pseudopotential formation-energy calculations predict low-energy metastable states with format...
متن کاملOn Symmetry of Some Nano Structures
It is necessary to generate the automorphism group of a chemical graph in computer-aided structure elucidation. An Euclidean graph associated with a molecule is defined by a weighted graph with adjacency matrix M = [dij], where for i≠j, dij is the Euclidean distance between the nuclei i and j. In this matrix dii can be taken as zero if all the nuclei are equivalent. Otherwise, one may introduce...
متن کاملSingle Server Bulk Queue with Service Interruption, Two Phase Repairs and State Dependent Rates
This paper reports a study on a single server queue with bulk arrival and bulk service patterns wherein the incoming traffic depends on the state of the server which may be in operating or breakdown state. The repair of the breakdown server is performed in two phases. The operating duration of server, repair duration of both phases of repairing as well as job's inter-arrival times and service t...
