Screening of contact metals for optimized performance of α-Ga2O3 based Schottky Barrier Diodes — •Sebastian Köpp, Clemens Petersen, Sofie Vogt, Holger von Wenckstern, and Marius Grundmann — Universität Leipzig, Felix Bloch Institute for Solid State Physics, Semiconductor Physics Group, Leipzig, Germany

We present α-Ga2O3:Sn based Schottky barrier diodes with exceptional current rectification ratios of up to 8 orders of magnitude and high mean barrier heights of up to 2.53 eV. By evaluating various Schottky metals, we find that reactively sputtered Pt/PtOx yields the best performing Schottky barrier diodes [1]. We further show temperature dependent IV-measurements in the range of 40 K-400 K that are in agreement with the thermionic emission model. The effective barrier heights could accurately be fitted using the laterally inhomogeneous barrier model [2].
In recent years the metastable corundum-structured α-phase of Ga2O3 has shown to have promising physical properties. With a bandgap of 5.3-5.6 eV [3,4] and a predicted breakdown field of 10 MV/cm it surpasses the theoretical limits of β-Ga2O3 in terms of Baliga’s figure of merit [4]. Further, α-Ga2O3 is isostructural to α-Al2O3 and hence epitaxial growth on cost-efficient sapphire substrates is feasible.
