Coherent tunneling in an AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterojunction captured through an analogy with a MOS contact

Abstract Due to their wide band gaps, III-N materials can exhibit behaviors ranging from the semiconductor class to the dielectric class. Through an analogy between a Metal/AlGaN/AlN/GaN diode and a MOS contact, we make use of this dual nature and show a direct path to capture the energy band diagra...
