The current-voltage (I- V) measurements reveal that the reverse breakdown voltage of the detectors is more than 200 V owing to the consummate fabrication processes, and that the Schottky barrier and ideal factor of the detectors are 0.64 eV and 1.02, respectively, calculated from the thermionic transmission model. ^241Am α particles pulse height spectra from the GaN detectors biased at -8 V is obviously one Gauss peak located at channel 44 with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 15.87 in channel. One of the main reasons for the relatively wider FWHM is that the air between the detectors and isotope could widen the spectrum.展开更多

A -45 nm void channel is obtained by etching out the SiO2 sacrificial dielectric layer between the semiconductor emitter and the metal collector. Under an atmospheric environment instead of vacuum conditions, the OaN- based field emission device shows a low turn-on voltage of 2.3 V, a high emission current of -40 μA (line current density 2.3mA/cm) at a collector bias Vc = 3 V, and a low reverse leakage of 3nA at Vc = -3 V. These characteristics are attributed to the nanometer scale void channel as well as the high density of two-dimensional electron gas in the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction. This type of device may have potential applications in high frequency mieroelectronics or nanoelectronics.展开更多
