Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a gallium nitride Schottky barrier diode and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) are key devices in antenna rectifier (rectenna) circuits, and are widely used in microwave wireless power transmission systems, including electric vehicle power charging, energy harvesting, ubiquitous power supplies, and buildings. Wireless power distribution. However, traditional GaAs and Si-based commercial Schottky barrier diodes cannot meet the high conversion efficiency requirements of microwave wireless transmission technology at high frequency and high voltage. GaN-based materials have the characteristics of large band gap, high breakdown field, high electron mobility, and high electron saturation velocity. Therefore, GaN-based SBDs have received extensive attention in improving the efficiency of microwave wireless power transmis...
