Problems solved by technology

Compared with n-type doping of gallium oxide crystals, p-type doping is more difficult to achieve, especially p-type doping with higher carrier concentration
The main reasons why it is difficult to obtain effective p-type doping are: the influence of n-type background carriers; the lack of effective shallow-level acceptor impurities; the acceptor impurity ions are easy to passivate and the activation rate is low, and there is a self-defect effect
Therefore, research on gallium oxide-based devices is also mainly focused on n-type β-Ga 2 o 3 Based devices, there are few research results on p-type conductive single crystal, thin film and p-type channel devices, which restricts the development and application of gallium oxide-based devices. Bipolar devices widely used in commercial Si and SiC power electronic devices structures and junction-based edge termination structures, which are quite challenging for GaO-based devices
In addition, circuits composed of normally-off devices can be powered by a single power supply. This feature simplifies the circuit, increases the reliability of the circuit, and has low static loss. However, most of the existing n-type GaO devices need to be powered by a certain Negative gate voltage can be turned off, which limits the application range of the device
