Dry etch-induced damage was investigated by fabricating Pd Schottky diodes on RIE etched n-GaN surfaces. Diodes characteristics such as the barrier height, ideality factor, reverse breakdown voltage, reverse leakage current, and effective Richardson coefficent were investigated as a function of DC plasma self-bias voltage and etch time. Plasma chemistries of SiCl4 and Ar were used. Rapid thermal annealing was effective in improving the diode characteristics f etched samples.
