This letter reports an experimental demonstration of charge-balanced GaN super-heterojunction Schottky barrier diodes (SHJ-SBDs). Charge balance between the n-type delta-doping and the p-type doping was achieved by adjusting the thickness of the pGaN. This device structure enabled scaling of breakdown voltage to over 3 kV, and dynamic switching up to 2.8 kV without using any field-plate.
