The recent emergence of free-standing GaN substrate has enabled the development of vertical GaN-on-GaN power devices. This letter presents the dynamic ON-resistance (R-ON) and reverse recovery performance of a novel vertical GaN-on-GaN Schottky barrier diode (SBD) characterized by a double pulse tester. The vertical GaN-on-GaN SBD exhibits fast reverse recovery with a low R-ON center dot Q(rr) figure-of-merit. For the first time, the current-collapse-free performance (i.e., no dynamic R-ON degradation) has been experimentally verified in a vertical GaN power rectifier under different switching conditions including: OFF-state stress bias up to 500 V, OFF-state stress time within 10(-6)-10(2) s, high temperature up to 150 degrees C, and different load current levels.
