摘要:
A compact connection structure between two electrodes made of two types of metals, i.e., metals which respectively make Schottky and ohmic contact with a semiconductor, is provided by using a high melting point metal or silicide thereof which makes Schottky contact with the semiconductor as one electrode metal. The two types of electrodes can be brought into direct contact with each other, enabling elimination of through hole connections between them and therefore increased semiconductor device density.
摘要:
Field effect transistors are manufactured using a substrate of compound semiconductor material by defining two gate areas which have their longitudinal dimensions so oriented with respect to the crystal axes of the substrate that the substrate material is more readily etchable through one of the gate areas than through the other gate area. The semiconductor material is etched through both the gate areas simultaneously with the same etchant, whereby gate recesses of different respective depths are formed in the substrate. Metal is deposited into the recesses.
