Abstract

Electrical measurements, including DLTS, I-V, C-V, and C and G versus temperature were carried out on aluminum Schottky diodes fabricated on Ion-etched GaAs surfaces. Fluence variations show little effect at 3keV ion energy, while a definite threshold can be seen at 0.5keV. A chemical etch before Schottky deposition Indicates diode parameter and EL2 deep level recovery after 1000Å removal at 3keV, and after only 100Å removal at 0.5keV. Computer analysis shows that these results are consistent with a previously reported model consisting of lumped R-C components attributable to a damaged and partly amorphous top layer, and to diffused bulk damage.
