    摘要: A method of providing a self-aligned gate (SAG) transistor or FET is disclosed. The method permits large aligment tolerances during manufacture of the SAG FET. A reduction in gate resistance is accomplished by including a second layer of gate metallization, which is highly conductive, after the n+ implant and activation anneal without any critical realignment to the first layer of gate metal. The provision of the second layer after the anneal precludes degradation of the conductivity of the second gate metal by interdiffusion with the first (refractory) gate metal during the anneal. The large tolerance for misalignment of the gate mask level is obtained by a planarization of the anneal cap until the top surface of the first layer of gate metal is exposed, all without the need for a separate mask and etch step to open contact "windows" through the planarization anneal cap layers. The remaining adjacent encapsulant then acts as an insulator over the FET channel region and allows for gross misalignment of the second gate metallization without FET performance degradation. Using this technique, substantially increased performance can be obtained from a self-aligned FET while maintaining the basic simplicity of the RG process.

    摘要: A composite buffer layer is formed with a layer of GaAs on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. Next a short period superlattice is formed followed by another GaAs layer. A layer of GaAlAs is then provided such that the Ai content and no doping followed by an intrinsic GaAs layer. The intrinsic GaAs layer is the active layer which serves as a channel.

    摘要: The provision of an intermediately doped transition region between respective n+ implanted source and drain regions in a GaAs FET and the lightly doped channel region under the gate permits device optimizaiton for low source and drain resistance in EFET's while employing the same n+ implant for source and drain optimization in DFET's while also maintaining the same n+ to gate contact spacing in both device types. Additionally, in high frequency operation of an asymmetrically implanted FET, the tapered doping profile offered by the transition region on the drain side of the gate provides high transconductance without sacrificing high output resistance. The transition region can be provided in a self-aligned implant employing dielectric sidewall spacers and the n+ implant can be self-aligned with an etch mask employed in gate definition.
