Wide and ultra-wide band gap semiconductors can provide excellent performance due to their high energy band gap, which leads to breakdown electric fields that are more than an order of magnitude higher than conventional silicon electronics. In materials where p-type doping is not available, achieving this high breakdown field in a vertical diode or transistor is very challenging. We propose and demonstrate the use of dielectric heterojunctions that use extreme permittivity materials to achieve high breakdown field in a unipolar device. We demonstrate the integration of a high permittivity material BaTiO3 with n-type $beta$-Ga2O3 to enable 5.7 MV/cm average electric field and 7 MV/cm peak electric field at the device edge, while maintaining forward conduction with relatively low on-resistance and voltage loss. The proposed dielectric heterojunction could enable new design strategies to achieve theoretical device performance limits in wide and ultra-wide band gap semiconductors where bipolar doping is challenging.

This paper presents vertical (001) oriented $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ field plated (FP) Schottky barrier diode (SBD) with a novel extreme permittivity dielectric field oxide. A thin drift layer of 1.7 $mu m$ was used to enable a punch-through (PT) field pro
file and very low differential specific on-resistance (R$_{on-sp}$) of 0.32 m$Omega$-cm$^{2}$. The extreme permittivity field plate oxide facilitated the lateral spread of the electric field profile beyond the field plate edge and enabled a breakdown voltage ($V_{br}$) of 687 V. The edge termination efficiency increases from 13.5 $%$ for non-field plated structure to 63 $%$ for high permittivity field plate structure. The surface breakdown electric field was extracted to be 5.45 MV/cm at the center of the anode region using TCAD simulations. The high permittivity field plated SBD demonstrated a record high Baliga figure of merit (BFOM) of 1.47 GW/cm$^{2}$ showing the potential of Ga$_2$O$_3$ power devices for multi-kilovolt class applications.
$mathrm{beta}$-Gallium oxide ($mathrm{betambox{-}Ga_{2}O_{3}}$) is an emerging widebandgap semiconductor for potential application in power and RF electronics applications. Initial theoretical calculation on a 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in $ma
thrm{betambox{-}(Al_{x}Ga_{1-x})_{2}O_{3}/Ga_{2}O_{3}}$ heterostructures show the promise for high speed transistors. However, the experimental results do not get close to the predicted mobility values. In this work, We perform more comprehensive calculations to study the low field 2DEG transport properties in the $mathrm{betambox{-}(Al_{x}Ga_{1-x})_{2}O_{3}/Ga_{2}O_{3}}$ heterostructure. A self-consistent Poisson-Schrodinger simulation of heterostructure is used to obtain the subband energies and wavefunctions. The electronic structure, assuming confinement in a particular direction, and the phonon dispersion is calculated based on first principle methods under DFT and DFPT framework. Phonon confinement is not considered for the sake of simplicity. The different scattering mechanisms that are included in the calculation are phonon (polar and non-polar), remote impurity, alloy and interface-roughness. We include the full dynamic screening polar optical phonon screening. We report the temperature dependent low-field electron mobility.
The $alpha$ phase of $Ga_{2}O_{3}$ is an ultra-wideband semiconductor with potential power electronics applications. In this work, we calculate the low field electron mobility in $alpha-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ from first principles. The 10 atom unit cell contri
butes to 30 phonon modes and the effect of each mode is taken into account for the transport calculation. The phonon dispersion and the Raman spectrum are calculated under the density functional perturbation theory formalism and compared with experiments. The IR strength is calculated from the dipole moment at the $Gamma$ point of the Brillouin zone. The electron-phonon interaction elements (EPI) on a dense reciprocal space grid is obtained using the Wannier interpolation technique. The polar nature of the material is accounted for by interpolating the non-polar and polar EPI elements independently as the localized nature of the Wannier functions are not suitable for interpolating the long-range polar interaction elements. For polar interaction the full phonon dispersion is taken into account. The electron mobility is then calculated including the polar, non-polar and ionized impurity scattering.
In this paper, we report enhanced breakdown characteristics of Pt/BaTiO3/Al0.58Ga0.42N lateral heterojunction diodes compared to Pt/Al0.58Ga0.42N Schottky diodes. BaTiO3, an extreme dielectric constant material, has been used, in this study, as diele
ctric material under the anode to significantly reduce the peak electric field at the anode edge of the heterojunction diode such that the observed average breakdown field was higher than 8 MV/cm, achieved for devices with anode to cathode spacing less than 0.2 microns. Control Schottky anode devices (Pt/Al0.58Ga0.42N) fabricated on the same sample displayed an average breakdown field around 4 MV/cm for devices with similar dimensions. While both breakdown fields are significantly higher than those exhibited by incumbent technologies such as GaN-based devices, BaTiO3 can enable more effective utilization of the higher breakdown fields available in ultra-wide bandgap materials by proper electric field management. This demonstration thus lays the groundwork needed to realize ultra-scaled lateral devices with significantly improved breakdown characteristics.
High-temperature (T) and high-electric-field (E) effects on Pb[(Zn_{1/3} Nb_{2/3})_{0.92} Ti_{0.08}]O_3 (PZN-8%PT) were studied comprehensively by neutron diffraction in the ranges 300 <= T <= 550 K and 0 <= E <= 15 kV/cm. We have focused on how phas
e transitions depend on preceding thermal and electrical sequences. In the field cooling process (FC, E parallel [001] >= 0.5 kV/cm), a successive cubic (C) --> tetragonal (T) --> monoclinic (M_C) transition was observed. In the zero field cooling process (ZFC), however, we have found that the system does not transform to the rhombohedral (R) phase as widely believed, but to a new, unidentified phase, which we call X. X gives a Bragg peak profile similar to that expected for R, but the c-axis is always slightly shorter than the a-axis. As for field effects on the X phase, we found an irreversible X --> M_C transition via another monoclinic phase (M_A) as expected from a previous report [Noheda et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3891 (2001)]. At a higher electric field, we confirmed a c-axis jump associated with the field-induced M_C --> T transition, which was observed by strain and x-ray diffraction measurements.
