We report a vertical (001)β-Ga2O3 field-plated(FP) Schottky barrier diode (SBD) with a novel extreme permittivity dielectric field oxide. A thin drift layer of 1.7μm was used to enable a punch-through (PT) field profile and very low differential specific on-resistance (Ron-sp)of 0.32 mΩ-cm2. 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 (Vbr) of 687 V. The edge termination efficiency increasesfrom 13.2%for non-field plated structure to 61%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's figure of merit (BFOM) of 1.47 GW/cm2 showing the potential of Ga2O3 power devices for multi-kilovolt class applications.
