What is it about?

Impact ionization is important physics for power electronics applications. This work determined the impact ionization coefficient in beta-gallium oxide in <001> orientation from the numerical simulation. The simulation reproduced several Schottky barrier diode breakdown operations with the matched breakdown voltages. Additionally, the soft breakdown phenomena of barrier lowering is also investigated.
