Studies on Pt/Ru and Pd/Ru Schottky Contacts to n-type Gallium Nitride

4 eV at room temperature) that makes it goes intrinsic at much higher temperature than Si, but also due to its high saturation velocity (higher than for SiC) and high critical electric field allowing to reach larger breakdown voltage values. For the last few years, it has already found applications in topics such as optoelectronic devices, blue to green light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes (LDs), detectors and high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs).
