The effect of sulfur and hydrogen plasma treatment on the Schottky barrier and photoluminescence (PL) properties of p-InP is reported. Both the treatments increase the barrier height of Au/p-InP diodes and band to band PL. This is explained as being due to a shift in the surface Fermi level position towards the P vacancy related pinning level in the top half of the band gap. The $H^+$ treatment passivates the shallow and deep levels as observed from the C-V depth profile and PL respectively.
