Abstract(in English) Influences of GaN surface oxides on interface properties of metal/n-GaN Schottky structures are investigated by comparing I-V-T and C-V characteristics of the structures formed on intentionally oxidized and oxide-etched GaN surfaces. It is found that a thermal oxidation introduces little change of the ideality factor while it leads to a slight reduction of the Schottky barrier height (SBH), for the Ni/n-GaN structure. Slow current drift was below 0.1% within the range of 1-10^4 sec. I-V-T characteristics showed that the inhomogenity of the SBH is comparable with that of the oxide-etched sample. On the other hand, an anodization of GaN surface lead to increase of the SBH up to 0.3 eV, owing to formation of a relatively thick oxide layer. The oxide-etched Au/n-Al_<0.2>Ga_<0.8>N sample with a selectively doped N_D of 10^<18> cm^<-3> order for HEMT structure represented a considerably reduced effective SBH at RT, because of a large leakage current due to the tunneling mechanism. Again, the annealing in N_2 ambient is highly effective to improve characteristics of metalln-AlGaN structures.
