Reproducible and High-Temperature Performance of NiO/ $\beta$ -Ga2 O3 Vertical Rectifiers in Achieving 8.9 kV Breakdown
2023 Device Research Conference (DRC)(2023)
摘要
The increasing electrification of automobiles and the need to switch renewable energy sources in the existing power grid has increased the demand for energy-efficient power electronics capable of higher voltage and currents than existing Si devices. This has focused attention on the wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors, with the latter including diamond, AlN and Ga
