The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a gate electrode in which a fine gate electrode can effectively be manufactured by thickening a resist opening for gate electrodes formed by ordinary electron beam lithography so as to reduce opening dimensions. The method of manufacturing a gate electrode of the present invention includes a step of forming a laminated resist including at least an electron beam resist layer as a lowermost layer on a surface where a gate electrode is to be formed; a step of forming an opening in layer(s) other than the lowermost layer; a step of forming a gate electrode opening on the lowermost layer exposed from the opening; a step of reducing the gate electrode opening selectively; and a step of forming a gate electrode in the gate electrode opening.

A protective insulation film covering a surface of a compound semiconductor region is formed to have a two-layer structure of a first insulation film and a second insulation film which have different properties. The first insulation film is a non-stoichiometric silicon nitride film while the second insulation film is a silicon nitride film in an almost stoichiometric state.

摘要:
Two layers of protection films are formed such that a sheet resistance at a portion directly below the protection film is higher than that at a portion directly below the protection film. The protection films are formed, for example, of SiN film, as insulating films. The protection film is formed to be higher, for instance, in hydrogen concentration than the protection film so that the protection film is higher in refractive index the protection film. The protection film is formed to cover a gate electrode and extend to the vicinity of the gate electrode on an electron supplying layer. The protection film is formed on the entire surface to cover the protection film. According to this configuration, the gate leakage is significantly reduced by a relatively simple configuration to realize a highly-reliable compound semiconductor device achieving high voltage operation, high withstand voltage, and high output.
