Popis: This work analyses the efficiency of AlGaN Schottky diode passivation by different dielectric layers. A significant reduction of leakage current and noise power spectral density was achieved with either SiO 2 from plasma-enhanced chemical vapour depostion (PECVD) or e-beam evaporation, or Si x N y from PECVD. Passivation with Si x N y obtained by electron cyclotron resonance deposition is less efficient, although it can be improved by annealing at 300 °C. E-beam evaporated SiO 2 provides the lowest interface trap density and negligible capacitive hysteresis.
