  • Patent number: 9991341
    Abstract: A method is for treating a doped gallium nitride substrate of a first conductivity type, having dislocations emerging on the side of at least one of its surfaces. The method may include: a) forming, where each dislocation emerges, a recess extending into the substrate from the at least one surface; and b) filling the recesses with doped gallium nitride of the second conductivity type.

  • Patent number: 9735292
    Abstract: A Schottky diode is formed on a silicon support. A non-doped GaN layer overlies the silicon support. An AlGaN layer overlies the non-doped GaN layer. A first metallization forming an ohmic contact and a second metallization forming a Schottky contact are provided in and on the AlGaN layer. First vias extend from the first metallization towards the silicon support. Second vias extend from the second metallization towards an upper surface.

  • Publication number: 20150221782
    Abstract: A Schottky diode may include a semiconductor substrate having first and second opposing surfaces, and a buffer layer over the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The Schottky diode may include a first doped GaN layer over the buffer layer and having first and second opposing surfaces, the second surface of the first doped GaN layer being adjacent the buffer layer, and a second doped GaN layer over the second surface of the first doped GaN layer and having a dopant concentration level less than a dopant concentration level of the first doped GaN layer. The buffer layer, the first doped GaN layer, and the second doped GaN layer may define an opening. The Schottky diode may include a first metallization layer being coupled to the semiconductor substrate and to the first surface of the first doped GaN layer and being in the opening.
