Abstract: GaN Schottky barrier diode (GaN SBD) is widely used in microwave and millimeter wave circuits due to its high breakdown voltage, small on-resistance and low capacitance. However, GaN SBD in the microwave and millimeter wave band still has many shortcomings, such as high turn-on voltage and leakage current. Several types of GaN SBD are summarized and analysed, and several methods and techniques to improve the key parameters of diode are discussed. The microwave and millimeter wave rectifier circuits and frequency doubling circuits based on GaN SBD in recent years are listed, and the relationship between the electrical performance and the key parameters of diode is discussed. The future development direction of GaN SBD is prospected.

Key words: GaN, Schottkybarrier diode, rectifier, frequency doubling circuit
