Abstract:
Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is a new semiconductor material which has the advantage of ultrawide bandgap, high breakdown electric field, and large Baliga's figure of merit (BFOM), so it is a promising candidate for the next-generation high-power devices including Schottky barrier diode (SBD). In this paper, the basic physical properties of Ga2O3 semiconductor have been analyzed. And the recent investigations on the Ga2O3-based SBD have been reviewed. Meanwhile, various methods for improving the performances including breakdown voltage and on-resistance have been summarized and compared. Finally, the prospect of Ga2O3-based SBD for power electronics application has been analyzed.

Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...
