Popis: The effect of surface passivation using (NH 4 ) 2 S and (NH 4 ) 2 S/P 2 S 5 on a AlGaN/GaN-based metal-semiconductor-metal diode above a two-dimensional electron gas (MSM-2DEG) varactor was investigated. The surface property, capacitance ratio (C max /C min ), and leakage current of the prepared samples were studied before and after treatments using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and capacitance―voltage and current―voltage analyses. It showed that the (NH 4 ) 2 S/P 2 S 5 -treated sample had the most excellent surface state and C max /C min and the least leakage current because of either reduced native oxide or deposited phosphorus compounds only provided by (NH 4 ) 2 S/P 2 S 5 and sulfide upon the surface, also validated by having the highest sheet carrier density. Hence, these promising results promote further potential for varactor applications.
