Exploring Surface and Bulk Defect States for High-Power Vertical GaN Diodes with Mg Implantation
The main aim of this research proposal is to investigate the influence of surface and bulk defects on the performance of low-loss vertical GaN power diodes created using Mg implantation and activation. By studying these effects, we hope to develop solutions that will enable the development of high power devices.
