Our work presents the best combination of high-voltage and high-temperature performance in Ga2O3 power diodes. The highest operation temperature for our vertical Ga2O3 SBDs exceeds the ones reported for GaN and SiC SBDs with a similar operation voltage. When T increases from 300° K to 500° K, the leakage current of our Ga2O3 SBDs only increases by about 10-fold at 500 V, while an at least 100-fold leakage increase at 500 V is shown in vertical GaN and SiC SBDs with a similar BV. It is also worth mentioning that the high-temperature GaN and SiC SBDs typically have more complicated device designs, such as trench metal-oxide-semiconductor barrier Schottky (TMBS) or junction barrier Schottky (JBS) structures, while our Ga2O3 SBDs use a much simpler edge termination. These comparisons show the great potential of Ga2O3 SBDs for high- temperature and high-voltage power applications.
