A breakdown phenomenon is studied in thin carbon doped GaN layers (GaN:C; carbon concentration 10 19  cm −3 ) embedded between a top metal electrode and bottom n‐doped GaN (n‐GaN). When slowly sweeping positive bias V at the top electrode up and down, a hysteresis is found with transitions to on‐ and off‐states at voltagesV bd,upandV bd,down(< V bd,up ), respectively, and on‐ to off‐current ratios exceeding 10 3 . Breakdown atV bd,upoccurs at an electric field of about 0.5 MV cm −1 in GaN:C. ForV bd,down < V
