In order to reduce leakage current and on-resistance of HFET devices, we propose a partial deep trench on drain edge adjacent to access region for the first time, which contributes to reducing the surface electric field under the off-state. In addition, trenched area under drain Ohmic metal enhances Ohmic contact on the surface of AlGaN layer which reduces contact resistivity of drain Ohmic contact. The proposed deep trench drain successfully reduces Ohmic contact resistance under the on-state and leakage current under the off-state at the same time.}, booktitle={WiPDA 2015 3rd IEEE Workshop on Wide Bandgap Power Devices and Applications}, author={Ji, I.

Proposed device with a LTA-FP of 10 degrees, fabricated by adopting a new taper etching process, exhibits stable forward blocking capability with low leakage current (2 orders of magnitude smaller) under repetitive high voltage stress, whereas the conventional device with steep FP of 70 degree shows that unstable behavior under the same stress. These experimental results indicate that the proposed LTA-FP suppresses the electric field concentration at the gate edge successfully and is an effective approach to secure the stable blocking characteristics of GaN based high voltage devices.}, booktitle={Proceedings of the international symposium on power semiconductor}, author={Ji, I.
