A new GaN Schottky barrier diode employing a trench structure, which is proposed and fabricated, successfully decreases a forward voltage drop without sacrificing any other electric characteristics. The trench is located in the middle of Schottky contact during a mesa etch. The Schottky metal of Pt/Mo/Ti/Au is e-gun evaporated on the 300 nm-deep trench as well as the surface of the proposed GaN Schottky barrier diode. The trench forms the vertical Au Schottky contact and lateral Pt Schottky contact due to the evaporation sequence of Schottky metal. The forward voltage drops of the proposed diode and conventional one are 0.73 V and 1.25 V respectively because the metal work function (5.15 eV) of the vertical Au Schottky contact is considerably less than that of the lateral Pt Schottky contact (5.65 eV). The proposed diode exhibits the low on-resistance of 1.58 mΩ cm2 while the conventional one exhibits 8.20 mΩ cm2 due to the decrease of a forward voltage drop.
