    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming (or providing) a series of layers formed on a substrate, the layers including a first plurality of layers including an n-type ohmic contact layer, a p-type modulation doped quantum well structure, an n-type modulation doped quantum well structure, and a fourth plurality of layers including a p-type ohmic contact layer. Etch stop layers are used during etching operations when forming contacts to the n-type ohmic contact layer and contacts to the n-type modulation doped quantum well. Preferably, each such etch stop layer is made sufficiently thin to permit current tunneling therethrough during operation of optoelectronic/electronic devices realized from this structure (including heterojunction thyristor devices, n-channel HFET devices, p-channel HFET devices, p-type quantum-well-base bipolar transistor devices, and n-type quantum-well-base bipolar transistor devices). The etch stop layer(s) preferably comprise AlAs that functions as an etch stop during etching by a chlorine-based gas mixture that includes fluorine. The series of layers preferably comprise group III-V materials.

The interdigitization pattern of the p-type implants reduces capacitance between the p-type modulation doped quantum well structure and the n-type ohmic contact layer to enable higher frequency operation.
