摘要：
The effects of de chuck self-bias and high density source power (which predominantly control ion energy and ion flux, respectively) on the electrical properties of n-GaN Schottky diodes exposed to Inductively Coupled Plasma of Cl-2/Ar were examined. Both parameters were found to influence the diode performance, by reducing the reverse breakdown voltage and Schottky barrier height. All plasma conditions were found to produce a nitrogen-deficient surface, with a typical depth of the non-stoichiometry being similar to 500 Angstrom. Post-etch annealing was found to partially restore the diode characteristics.
