A Se chemical passivation [(NH4)2S+Se] for GaAs Schottky diodes is presented. We have found that our (NH4)2S+Se passivated Schottky diodes have more than one order of magnitude higher forward current density than the (NH4)2Sx passivated ones. In rapid thermal annealing treatment, an initial decrease and then increase of forward current density for (NH4)2Sx passivated diodes is observed. For the (NH4)2S+Se and (NH4)OH treated diodes, a steady decrease of Schottky barrier height with increased annealing temperature is observed. With or without annealing treatment, the (NH4)2S+Se passivated diodes have the lowest barrier height.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
