Abstract:
A wiring of a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. A first conductive layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate followed by a first insulation material which is deposited on the first conductive layer to form a first insulation layer. Then, a CMP process is implemented to form the first insulation layer. A second insulation layer is formed by depositing a second insulation material on the first insulation layer in order to cover a scratch formed on the first insulation layer after implementing the CMP process. A first etching pattern is formed by etching the second insulation layer to a thickness less than a thickness of the second insulation layer. Thereafter, a conductive material is deposited on the etching pattern and then a planarizing process is implemented to form a conductive pattern having a damascene shape. The formation of a bridge between neighboring conductive patterns caused by a scratch generated during implementation of CMP process can be prevented to markedly decrease defects in semiconductor devices.

A nitride based hetero-junction field effect transistor comprises a high resistance nitride semiconductor layer formed on a substrate, an Al-doped GaN layer formed on the high resistance nitride semiconductor layer and having an Al content of 0.1˜1%, an undoped GaN layer formed on the Al-doped GaN layer, and an AlGaN layer formed on the undoped GaN layer such that a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) layer is formed at an interface of the undoped GaN layer. With the Al-doped GaN layer and the undoped GaN layer grown on the high resistance GaN layer having low crystallinity, crystallinity of the GaN layer is enhanced, and thus electrical characteristics of DC and RE of an HEET device are remarkably improved due to enhanced carrier mobility.
