Abstract: The Schottky barrier junction parameters and structural properties of Zr/p-GaN Schottky diode are explored at various annealing temperatures. Experimental analysis showed that the barrier height (BH) of the Zr/pGaN Schottky diode increases with annealing at 400℃ (0.92 eV (I-V)/1.09 eV (C-V)compared to the asdeposited one (0.83 eV (I-V)/0.93 eV (C-V). However, the BH decreases after annealing at 500℃. Also, at different annealing temperatures, the series resistance and BH are assessed by Cheung's functions and their values compared. Further, the interface state density (NSS)of the diode decreases after annealing at 400℃ and then somewhat rises upon annealing at 500℃. Analysis reveals that the maximum BH is obtained at 400℃, and thus the optimum annealing temperature is 400℃ for the diode. The XPS and XRD analysis revealed that the increase in BH may be attributed to the creation of Zr-N phases with increasing annealing up to 400℃. The BH reduces for the diode annealed at 500℃, which may be due to the formation of Ga-Zr phases at the junction. The AFM measurements reveal that the overall surface roughness of the Zr film is quite smooth during rapid annealing process.
