| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gallium nitride (GaN) is a next-generation power semiconductor material that is expected to save a great deal of energy in power conversion devices. In this study, we fabricated GaN-npn transistors grown on GaN freestanding substrates and evaluated the characteristics of power phototransistors with gate operation by light irradiation. As a result, we confirmed the photo-induced ON/OFF of the current between emitter and collector by UV light irradiation to the surface aperture, and the ON/OFF ratio was large enough to be more than six orders of magnitude. The on-resistance of the device designed with a breakdown voltage of 1 kV was about 22 mΩcm2.
