Abstract

The capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of Sc₂O ₃/p-GaN gate-controlled diodes show unusual hook shapes due to the charging of surface states. From the drain-voltage dependence of the C-V curves, the total surface state density was estimated to be ∼8.2×10 ¹²cm^-2 for diodes undergoing an implant activation anneal at 950°C. The accumulation capacitance showed a significant dependence on measurement frequency and is suggested to result from the presence of an interfacial dielectric between the Sc₂O₃ and GaN. The Si-implanted n⁺ regions in the gated diode structure are effective in providing a source of inversion charge.
