Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Low-Mg-doped p-GaN Schottky contacts were applied to evaluate inductive coupled plasma (ICP) etching damages. The ICP etching greatly affected reducing the memory effect in the current-voltage characteristics and difference between the depletion layer capacitances before and after forward current injection. These reductions indicate that the acceptor-type interfacial defects were passivated by H atoms and/or compensated by donor-type defects formed during the ICP etching. Additionally, photoresponse measurements revealed that the etching increased qφB from 2.08 to 2.63 eV. Due to the change of the surface states, the Fermi level position would move to the conduction band edge slightly by the etching. By the annealing, this effect was partially removed, and then the capacitance difference increased and the PR spectrum showed less variation.
