Description	Imanishi M., Usami S., Murakami K., et al. Characteristics of Vertical Transistors on a GaN Substrate Fabricated via Na-Flux Method and Enlargement of the Substrate Surpassing 6 Inches. Physica Status Solidi - Rapid Research Letters, (2024); https://doi.org/10.1002/pssr.202400106.
Abstract	The Na-flux method is expected to be a key GaN growth technique for obtaining ideal bulk GaN crystals. Herein, the structural quality of the latest GaN crystals grown using the Na-flux method and, for the first time, the characteristics of a vertical transistor fabricated on a GaN substrate grown using this method are discussed. Vertical transistors exhibit normally off operation with a gate voltage threshold exceeding 2 V and a maximum drain current of 3.3 A during the on-state operation. Additionally, it demonstrates a breakdown voltage exceeding 600 V and a low leakage current during off-state operation. It is also described that the variation in the on-resistance can be minimized using GaN substrates with minimal off-angle variations. This is crucial for achieving the large-current chips required for future demonstration of actual devices. In addition, the reverse I–V characteristics of the parasitic p–n junction diode (PND) structures indicate a reduction in the number of devices with a significant leakage current compared to commercially available GaN substrates. Finally, a circular GaN substrate with a diameter of 161 mm, surpassing 6 inches, grown using the Na-flux method is demonstrated, making it the largest GaN substrate aside from those produced through the tiling technique.
