    摘要: An integrated circuit substrate via-hole fabrication arrangement providing for accurate determination of via-hole size and via-hole registration through use of a calibrated pattern formed into the integrated circuit substrate during portions of the normal circuit fabrication process. Initiation of the via-hole and fabrication of the calibrated pattern from one surface, such as the front side, of the integrated circuit wafer and completion of the via-hole from the opposite surface of the wafer are contemplated. The calibrated pattern may be one of several possible physical configurations and of selected dimensions usable with the process, materials and circuitry of the device being fabricated. Use of the invention in fabricating ground conductor-connected via conductors for gigahertz radio frequency-capable integrated circuits of the monolithic or mixed hybrid with monolithic type and having a ground plane element is contemplated.

    摘要: A room temperature wet chemical digital etching technique for, gallium arsenide or other semiconductor material. Hydrogen peroxide and an acid are used in a two step etching cycle to remove the gallium arsenide in approximately 15 .ANG. limited increments. In the first step of the cycle, gallium arsenide is oxidized by, for example, 30% hydrogen peroxide to form an oxide layer that is diffusion limited to a thickness of, for example, 14-17 .ANG. for time periods from 15 seconds to 120 seconds. The second step of the cycle removes this oxide layer with an acid that does not attack unoxidized gallium arsenide. These steps are repeated in succession using new reactant materials and cleaning after each reactant (to prevent reactant contamination) until the desired etch depth is obtained. Experimental results are presented demonstrating the etch rate and process invariability with respect to hydrogen peroxide and acid exposure times. A method for using a Hall effect measurement to determine the achieved change in surface layer thickness of doped semiconductor material is also included.
