The application provides a transverse
gallium oxide Schottky diode with equivalent transverse variable
doping realized by a multilayer P-type
nickel oxide and a preparation method thereof. The device comprises a substrate, an N-type
gallium oxide epitaxial layer provided with an N-type
gallium oxide heavily doped region, a multilayer P-type
nickel oxide layer arranged in a longitudinal ladder shape, an
anode metal layer, a
cathode metal layer and a
passivation layer. In view of the characteristics of non-uniform
electric field distribution and
high concentration of
anode area
electric field in a transverse power device, the application adopts a multilayer P-type
nickel oxide structure to relieve the concentration of
anode area
electric field peak and the electric field of a flat surface through equivalent transverse variable
doping design. The first P-type
nickel oxide layer cooperates with the second P-type
nickel oxide and the third P-type
nickel oxide layer to form a gradient
doping distribution, effectively expands the
depletion region and reduces the peak electric
field strength, thereby significantly improving the reverse blocking capability and the
breakdown voltage of the device, and meanwhile, the carrier concentration of the epitaxial layer can be appropriately increased to reduce the on-resistance. Therefore, the device can realize a higher reverse
breakdown voltage and a lower on-resistance.
