摘要:
A semiconductor device (20) is formed on a compound semiconductor substrate (21). The semiconductor device (20) is oriented on the surface (40) of the compound semiconductor substrate (21) such that the physical forces that result from the thermal heating or cooling of the compound semiconductor substrate (21) are essentially equal. This orientation reduces the variability of the drain to source current of the semiconductor device (20) as the semiconductor device (20) is operated at different temperatures.

An enhancement mode RF device and method of fabrication includes a stack of compound semiconductor layers, including a central layer defining a device channel, a doped cap layer, and a buffer epitaxially grown on a substrate. Source and drain implant areas, extending at least into the buffer, are formed to define an implant free area in the device channel between the source and drain. Source and drain metal contacts are positioned on an upper surface of the central layer. Several layers of insulation and dielectric are positioned over the device and a gate opening is formed and filled with gate metal. During epitaxial growth, the doped cap layer is tailored with a thickness and a doping to optimize channel performance including gate-drain breakdown voltage and channel resistance.

A method for fabricating an RF enhancement mode FET (30) having improved gate properties is provided. The method comprises the steps of providing (131) a substrate (31) having a stack of semiconductor layers (32-35) formed thereon, the stack including a cap layer (35) and a central layer (33) defining a device channel, forming (103) a photoresist pattern (58) over the cap layer, thereby defining a masked region and an unmasked region, and, in any order, (a) creating (105) an implant region (36, 37) in the unmasked region, and (b) removing (107) the cap layer from the unmasked region. By forming the implant region and cap region with no overlap, a device with low current leakage may be achieved.

An enhancement mode semiconductor device has a barrier layer disposed between the gate electrode of the device and the semiconductor substrate underlying the gate electrode. The barrier layer increases the Schottky barrier height of the gate electrode-barrier layer-substrate interface so that the portion of the substrate underlying the gate electrode operates in an enhancement mode. The barrier layer is particularly useful ill compound semiconductor field effect transistors, and preferred materials for the barrier layer include aluminum gallium arsenide and indium gallium arsenide.

A method for forming a metal pattern on a substrate (11) includes forming a dielectric stack (14) on a major surface (12) of the substrate (11) and forming a mask (22) on the dielectric stack (14). The dielectric stack (14) includes an aluminum nitride layer (16) serving as an etch stop layer between two dielectric layers (15, 17). An opening is formed in the dielectric stack (14) via successive etching. The etching of the dielectric layer (15) between the aluminum nitride layer (16) and the substrate (11) undercuts the aluminum nitride layer (16). A metal layer (30) is deposited on the major surface through the opening via sputtering. The metal layer (30) on the major surface is distinctively separated from a metal layer (34) on the edge of the opening. The mask (22) is dissolved in a solvent, thereby lifting-off a metal layer (34) deposited on the mask (22).
