Abstract

The treatment effect of the oxygen plasma on the performance of recessed AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diodes has been investigated. After the oxygen plasma treatment, the turn-on voltage and reverse leakage current are slightly changed, while the current collapse could be effectively mitigated. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results suggest that a thin surface oxide layer is formed by the oxygen plasma treatment, which is responsible for the reduced current collapse. In addition, the device treated by oxygen plasma has a relatively more inhomogeneous barrier height.
