Abstract
Metal oxynitride diodes having at least a first metal oxynitride layer of a first conduction type and a second metal oxynitride layer of a second conduction type are provided. The first oxynitride layer is selectively doped or un-intentionally doped and have high carrier mobility. The second oxynitride layer is also selectively doped or un-intentionally doped and have high carrier mobility. A compensated oxynitride drift layer having a low carrier density may be adopted to increase the breakdown voltage of the device.
