Abstract(in English) Effects of various device processings on chemical and electronic properties of AlGaN surfaces were investigated. The XPS analysis showed serious deterioration such as stoichiometry disorder and N-deficiency at the AlGaN surfaces processed by the high-temperature annealing, the H_2-plasma cleaning, the dry etching in CH_4/H_2/Ar plasma and the deposition of SiO_2. The N-deficiency could introduce a localized deep donor level related to N vacancy near-surface resion in AlGaN, probably causing serious reduction of the barrier heights at the AlGaN Schottky interfaces. A SiN_x passivation layer was effective in suppressing the formation of N-vacancy-related surface defects during device processings.
