Abstract

Dry etch damage on n-Gan has been investigated using Pd Schottky diodes fabricated on surfaces etched by conventional reactive ion etching with SiCl4 plasma. The Schottky barrier height and ideality factor were investigated as a function of the plasma self-bias voltage. Current-voltage measurements revealed severe degradation of both the forward and reverse characteristics for plasma self-bias voltages in excess of -150 V.
