Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first gallium nitride layer disposed on a semiconductor substrate, wherein the first gallium nitride layer has a first conductivity type. The semiconductor device also includes a second gallium nitride layer disposed on the first gallium nitride layer, wherein the second gallium nitride layer has the first conductivity type, and the first gallium nitride layer has a dopant concentration which is greater than that of the second gallium nitride layer. The semiconductor device further includes an anode electrode disposed on the second gallium nitride layer, a cathode electrode disposed on and in direct contact with the first gallium nitride layer, and an insulating region disposed on and in direct contact with the first gallium nitride layer, wherein the insulating region is located between the cathode electrode and the second gallium nitride layer.
