Review of gallium oxide based field-effect transistors and Schottky barrier diodes

Gallium oxide(Ga_2O_3), a typical ultra wide bandgap semiconductor, with a bandgap of ~4.9 e V, critical breakdown field of 8 MV/cm, and Baliga's figure of merit of 3444, is promising to be used in high-power and high-voltage devices.Recently, a keen interest in employing Ga_2O_3 in power devices has been aroused. Many researches have verified that Ga_2O_3 is an ideal candidate for fabricating power devices. In this review, we summarized the recent progress of field-effect transistors(FETs) and Schottky barrier diodes(SBDs) based on Ga_2O_3, which may provide a guideline for Ga_2O_3 to be preferably used in power devices fabrication.
