Abstract

Characteristics of GaAs photodiodes have been studied before and after the chemical nitridation of their surface in hydrazine sulfide solutions, which leads to substitution of surface As atoms with N atoms to give a GaN monolayer. The resulting nitride coatings hinder the oxidation of GaAs in air and provide a decrease in the density of surface states involved in recombination processes. The device characteristics improved by nitridation are preserved during a long time.
