We fabricated diamond pseudo-vertical Schottky barrier diodes using a half-inch semi-insulative diamond (100) wafer. Most diodes exhibited a large rectifying ratio (>10(10)) with undetectable leakage current at a reverse bias of 5V (0.6MV cm(-1)), with only 2% of diodes exhibiting an Ohmic-like leakage current. Surface defects were observed under the Schottky barrier diode, and their impacts on electrical properties were analyzed using a Murphy model and correlation factor analysis. We found that most crystalline defects (surface hillocks) were electrically non-active and that non-epitaxial crystallites and process-related field-plate cracks were the main defects that induced a large leakage current. Schottky barrier diodes without such killer defects showed a high electric field strength of similar to 5MV cm(-1).
