Popis: The influence of surface recombination on forward current-voltage (IF-VF) characteristics of gallium nitride (GaN) p+n diodes formed on GaN free-standing substrates was both experimentally and computationally investigated. In the temperature range of 373-273 K, the surface-recombination velocity 5 of 0.5-μm n GaN overetched circular-mesa diodes was derived, respectively, as 2-10 × 107 and 1 × 107 cm/s for diodes with and without a mesa-field-plate termination structure consisting of dielectric and metal layers. It was shown that IF (VF
