In this article, we propose a novel device structure for a gate mesa terminal (GMT) with a drain field plate, aimed at improving the breakdown voltage (Vbr) and reducing the on-resistance (Ron) of lateral β-Ga2O3 metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). Through the design of the GMT structure, the peak electric field of β-Ga2O3 MOSFET is directed towards the passivation layer, effectively suppressing the electric field in the epitaxial layer, resulting in a higher Vbr. The optimal Vbr, specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) and maximum transconductance (gm) of various GMT structures are 4827 V, 9.9 mΩ·cm2 and 15.32 mS/mm, respectively. These values are 2.63 times, 0.88 times and 1.25 times higher than those of the non-GMT structure. Furthermore, with a doping concentration of epitaxial layer is 1×1016 cm-3, the GMT achieves an enhanced threshold voltage of +0.26 V. The optimal power figure of merit (PFOM) of 1.914 GW/cm2 is obtained by simulating the electrical properties of different bevel Angles, field plate parameters, epitaxial layer doping concentration and mesa thickness. This innovative structure presents a new design concept for the next generation of high voltage and high-power devices rated above 4 KV.
