摘要:
A field effect transistor having an asymmetric gate includes high dopant concentration source and drain regions. The drain region is shallower and of lower dopant concentration than the source region. The drain is spaced from the gate electrode. Therefore, an ideal FET having a reduced short channel effect and having a lower source resistance and high current drivability (gm) is obtained. When the drain region is produced by ion implantation through a film and the source region is produced by the implantation directly into the substrate, only the drain region is separated from the gate. When the insulating film on the source region is separated from the insulating film on the drain region, the insulating film on the source region is reliably selectively removed, whereby high controllability is obtained.

The present invention relates to a method of making a compound semiconductor device having a high performance self-aligned LDD structure which has stable characteristics, and is suitable for high integration and high yield, in which after forming a channel layer beneath the substrate surface, using a high performed self-aligned technology, a gate electrode, lightly doped layers and heavily doped layers are formed in predetermined positions by a photolithography for the gate portion. This process of a photolithography is performed only once, therefore, each pattern can be formed with excellent accuracy and reproducibility.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a field effect transistor having source and drain regions asymmetrically arranged relative to the gate region. A strip-shaped auxiliary layer is applied in the region of the gate. A first and second spacer are laterally fashioned along an auxillary layer, the first spacer is covered with a resist mask and the second spacer is subsequently etched away. The source metallization and the drain metallization are then applied, and a planarizing passivation layer is applied therebetween. This is followed by the application of connecting metallizations for the source, drain and gate regions.

A self-aligned GaAs FET with an active channel which is unaffected by sure charge trapping/emission. The device comprises a channel of n-doped GaAs, a source and drain regions of n.sup.+ GaAs disposed at opposite ends of the channel, a semi-insulating GaAs layer disposed over the channel, with this GaAs layer having open first and second end surfaces disposed at an angle of greater than or equal to 45.degree. relative to the channel plane. A cavity is disposed in the GaAs layer exposing a portion of the channel, and a gate metallization is disposed over the GaAs layer and extending from the first end surface to the second end surface of the GaAs layer and directly contacting the exposed portion of the channel region in the cavity to form a Schottky barrier contact. This gate metallization is not disposed in contact with a significant portion of either of the first and second end surfaces. The ends of the gate metallization overhang slightly the end surfaces of the GaAs layer in order to provide masking to maintain the first and second end surfaces open during fabrication. An insulator such as air may be disposed in contact with these end surfaces.

A process for manufacturing GaAs FET's having refractory metal gates provides for reducing the size of the gate relative to a mask by an etch sequence which results in precisely controlled and repeatable self-limited undercutting of the mask. A reactive ion etch of the refractory metal in a CF.sub.4 O.sub.2 plasma containing an inert gas provides the self-limiting undercut at a pressure in the range of 175-250 mTorr when the power is less than 0.15 W/cm.sup.2. Preceeding the undercut, an anisotropic RIE in a CF.sub.4 plasma can be employed to clear unmasked areas of the refractory metal and an initial sputter cleaning in argon improves the quality of the initial etch.

A self-aligned process for fabricating a GaAs semiconductor MESFET by depositing a layer of tungsten over the GaAs substrate, and ion implanting the substrate to provide channel doping. A gate composed of a conductive refractory material is deposited and delineated on the tungsten layer, and source and drain regions are formed in the substrate using the gate as a mask. The resulting device is annealed and contacts are formed to the source and drain regions, and to the gate.
摘要:
A method of forming a semiconductor device having a non-alloyed contact layer. An active region is formed in a substrate and the non-alloyed contact layer is formed in the active region, the barrier height of source and drain electrodes for the non-alloyed contact layer being lower than the barrier height of the source and drain electrodes for the active region or the substrate. The preferred method of forming the non-alloyed contact layer is high dose implantation of an element selected in accordance with the substrate material. For example, if the substrate is GaAs the non-alloyed contact layer is formed by implanting In, and if the substrate is InP the non-alloyed contact layer is formed by implanting As or Sb.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed, comprising: forming a contact sacrificial layer on the substrate, etching the contact sacrificial layer to form a contact sacrificial pattern, wherein the contact sacrificial pattern covers the source region and the drain region and has a gate trench that exposes the substrate; forming a gate spacer and a gate stack structure in the gate trench; partially or completely etching off the contact sacrificial pattern that covers the source region and the drain region so as to form a source/drain contact trench; and forming a source/drain contact in the source/drain contact trench. By means of the double-layer contact sacrificial layer, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention effectively reduces the spacing between the gate spacer and the contact region and increases the area of contact region, thus effectively reducing the parasitic resistance of the device.
