β-phase gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is an emerging ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor (EG ∼ 4.8 eV), which promises generational improvements in the performance and manufacturing cost over today's commercial wide power electronics based on GaN SiC. However, overheating has been identified as a major bottleneck to commercialization of Ga2O3 device technologies. In this work, novel Ga2O3/4H-SiC composite wafer with high heat transfer epi-ready surface finish developed using fusion-bonding...

Heteroepitaxy of β-phase gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) thin films on foreign substrates shows promise for the development next-generation deep ultraviolet solar blind photodetectors and power electronic devices. In this work, influences film thickness crystallinity thermal conductivity (2̅01)-oriented β-Ga2O3 heteroepitaxial were investigated. Unintentionally doped grown c-plane sapphire with off-axis angles 0° 6° toward ⟨112̅0⟩ via metal–organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) low-pressure chemical...

Abstract We report polycrystalline diamond epitaxial growth on β -Ga 2 O 3 for device-level thermal management. focused establishing conditions accompanying the study of various nucleation strategies. A window was identified, yielding uniform-coalesced films while maintaining interface smoothness. In this first demonstration , a conductivity 110 ± 33 W m −1 K and diamond/ boundary resistance 30.2 1.8 G were measured. The film stress managed by optimization techniques preventing delamination...

This letter reports an experimental demonstration of charge-balanced GaN super-heterojunction Schottky barrier diodes (SHJ-SBDs). Charge balance between the n-type delta-doping and p-type doping was achieved by adjusting thickness pGaN. device structure enabled scaling breakdown voltage to over 3 kV, dynamic switching up 2.8 kV without using any field-plate.

AlN thin films are enabling significant progress in modern optoelectronics, power electronics, and microelectromechanical systems. The various growth methods conditions lead to different film microstructures. In this report, phonon scattering mechanisms that impact the cross-plane (κz; along c-axis) in-plane (κr; parallel c-plane) thermal conductivities of prepared by synthesis techniques investigated. contrast bulk single crystal with an isotropic conductivity ∼330 W/m K, a strong...
