Abstract The influences of dry-etching damage on the electrical properties of an AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diode with ICP-recessed anode was investigated for the first time. It was found that the turn-on voltage is decreased with the increase of dry-etching power. Furthermore, the leakage currents in the reverse bias region above pinch-off voltage rise as radio frequency (RF) power increases, while below pinch-off voltage, leakage currents tend to be independent of RF power. Based on detailed current-voltage-temperature (I-V-T) measurements, the barrier height of thermionic-field emission (TFE) from GaN is lowered as RF power increases, which results in early conduction. The increase of leakage current can be explained by Frenkel-Poole (FP) emission that higher dry-etching damage in the sidewall leads to the higher tunneling current, while below pinch-off voltage, the leakage is only related to the AlGaN surface, which is independent of RF power.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
