Student thesis: Master's Thesis

Abstract

Gallium nitride (GaN) is an attractive wide bandgap semiconductor for power applications, owing to its superior electrical properties such as high critical electric field (3-4 MV/cm) and saturation drift velocity (2.5 x 107 cm/s). Recent advancements in developing native GaN substrates has drawn attention towards exploring vertical GaN power diodes with high breakdown voltages (
