GaN JBS Diode Device Performance Prediction Method Based on Neural Network

GaN JBS diodes exhibit excellent performance in power electronics. However, device performance is affected by multiple parameters of the P+ region, and the traditional TCAD simulation method is complex and time-consuming. In this study, we used a neural network machine learning method to predict the performance of a GaN JBS diode. First, 3018 groups of sample data composed of device structure and performance parameters were obtained using TCAD tools. The data were then input into the established neural network for training, which could quickly predict the device performance. The final prediction results show that the mean relative errors of the on-state resistance and reverse breakdown voltage are 0.048 and 0.028, respectively. The predicted value has an excellent fitting effect. This method can quickly design GaN JBS diodes with target performance and accelerate research on GaN JBS diode performance prediction.
