Abstract(in English) In high power Schottky barrier diodes, it is possible to apply a high voltage to Schottky electrodes. In this paper, we analyzed a physical mechanism for the forward characteristics at the high voltage by using a floating electrode measurement and a device simulation. The current slope in the current-voltage curves decreased at high voltage larger than 3.5 V. From measurement of the voltage by the floating electrodes, a parasitic resistance of the GaN epitaxial layer at the anode side was found to increase at the voltage larger than 3.5 V. By device simulation, the anode parasitic resistance was found to increase due to degradation for the electron velocity at the high electric field.
