This work reports on the control of the n-GaN surface using a simple Mg diffusion process. It is shown that the Mg diffusion process enables a GaN surface without Fermi-level pinning. The process results in the realization of n-GaN unipolar camel diodes where increasing the metal work function leads to an incremental barrier height increase. Notably, the camel diode yields a record Schottky barrier height, indicating the possibility of improving the reverse characteristics of future GaN unipolar diodes.

Abstract
This work reports on the control of the n-GaN surface using a simple Mg diffusion process. It is shown that the Mg diffusion process enables a GaN surface without Fermi-level pinning. The process results in the realization of n-GaN unipolar camel diodes where increasing the metal work function leads to an incremental barrier height increase. Notably, the camel diode yields a record Schottky barrier height, indicating the possibility of improving the reverse characteristics of future GaN unipolar diodes.File in questo prodotto:
