β-Ga2O3 Schottky barrier diodes with field plate (FP-SBDs) are fabricated and their SPICE-compatible model are constructed for double-pulse test circuit and DC-DC boost converter simulations. The reverse recovery time (trr) of the β-Ga2O3 SBD is 8.8 ns and its reverse recovery charge (Qrr) is 8.33 nC when switching from a forward current of 1 A to a reverse bias voltage of 100 V with a di/dt of 400 A/μs, which is analogous with the prediction of our model. Device with the radius of 500 μm was fabricated, a current of 2 A can be obtained at the forward voltage of 2 V, meanwhile, the breakdown voltage is 467 V. The Ga2O3based converter module after device packaging with TO-220 reveals a comparative efficiency to that of the SiC-based converter under multiple conditions, and reached up to 95.62% at the input voltage of 200 V. The decent performance of Ga2O3 FP-SBD and its DC-DC converter indicates great potential in power application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
