In this work we demonstrate high-performance lateral GaN power Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) based on a novel multi-channel tri-gate architecture. A significant reduction in ONresistance (RON) of 50%, down to 7.2 ± 0.4 Ω•mm, along with a much smaller forward voltage (VF) of 1.57 ± 0.06 V, were achieved with multiple 2DEG channels (multi-channels) formed by periodic AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. We used a tri-anode structure to form Schottky contact to the multi-channels through the fin sidewalls, leading to a small turn-ON voltage (VON) of 0.67 ± 0.04 V. To simultaneously control the multi-channels and effectively spread the electric field in OFF state, a tri-gate structure was integrated in the anode, resulting in an ultra-low leakage current (IR) of ~1 nA/mm at-600 V and a high breakdown voltage (VBR) of-900 V at 1 µA/mm with grounded substrate. In addition, the devices presented promising switching performance, due to the small product of RON and reverse charge (Q), thanks to the optimized tri-gate geometry, and the high effective mobility (µe) of 2063 ± 123 cm 2 •V-1 s-1 despite the small fin width (w) of 50 nm. Our approach combines in a unique way the excellent electrostatic control of the tri-gate structure with the high conductivity of multi-channels, offering a promising platform for future advances in GaN power devices.
