摘要:
A method of producing a FET in a gallium arsenide substrate comprises forming a gate (2) on a [100] surface of the gallium arsenide substrate in the [011] orientation, ion implanting active impurities to form FET source (5) and drain (6) regions which are self-aligned with respect to the gate (2), and annealing the structure subsequently to the ion implanting to cause the active impurities to diffuse laterally and thereby form a channel region beneath the gate (2).
摘要:
A method for the fabrication of gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal-semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) is described. The method requires the step of providing a semi-insulating GaAs substrate (10) having thereon a layer of n doped GaAs (24) and another layer of n+ doped Ga 1-x Al x As (not shown), the latter being used as a diffusion source for n dopants in selectively doping the n GaAs layer underneath to form source and drain regions (22. 24). The fabrication method further includes the step of employing highly directional reactive ion etching on silicon nitride to build insulating side walls 18, 20 to effect the self-alignment of the gate of the MESFET with respect to its source and drain.
