Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although scholars from various countries have carried out a lot of research on the subject of GaN power Schottky diodes, at present, the withstand voltage of the device is far lower than the breakdown field strength limit of the material. The key problem is that the device epitaxial structure is still improperly designed, resulting in The hot spot area where the electric field is concentrated limits the performance of the material
