An FET chip is configured to include an oscillation suppression circuit that has a gate capacitance C formed between a gate electrode 5c and two-dimensional electron gas, and a channel resistance R between the gate electrode 5c and a source electrode 7c, and therefore the oscillation suppression circuit is loaded by only an FET process to make an MMIC design unnecessary, so that it is possible to attain stabilization of an FET while suppressing increase in cost, and to suppress oscillation.
摘要:
A nitride semiconductor device with a p electrode having no resistance between itself and other electrodes, and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. A p electrode is formed of a first Pd film, a Ta film, and a second Pd film, which is an antioxidant film for preventing oxidation of the Ta film, and on a p-type contact layer of a nitride semiconductor. On the second Pd film, a pad electrode is formed. The second Pd film as an antioxidant film is formed on the entire upper surface of the Ta film which forms the p electrode, to prevent oxidation of the Ta film. This inhibits the resistance between the p electrode and the pad electrode, thereby preventing a failure in contact between the p electrode and the pad electrode and providing the low-resistance p electrode.
摘要:
A nitride semiconductor device includes an n-type GaN substrate with a semiconductor device formed thereon and an n-type electrode which is a metal electrode formed on the rear surface of the GaN substrate. A surface modified layer and a reaction layer are interposed between the GaN substrate and n-type electrode. The surface modified layer serves as a carrier supplying layer, and is formed by causing the rear surface of the GaN substrate to react with a Si-containing plasma to be modified. The reaction layer is generated by partially removing a deposited material deposited on the surface modified layer by cleaning to generate a deposited layer and then causing Ti contained in a first metal layer and the deposited layer to partially react by heat treatment.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device provides a semiconductor device with a gallium-nitride-based semiconductor structure that allows long-term stable operation without degradation in device performance. After formation of an insulation film on a surface other than on a ridge surface, an oxygen-containing gas such as O2, O3, NO, N2O, or NO2 is supplied to oxidize a p-type GaN contact layer from the surface and to thereby form an oxide film on the surface of the p-type GaN contact layer. Then, a p-type electrode that establishes contact with the p-type GaN contact layer is formed by evaporation or sputtering on the oxide film and on the insulation film. Heat treatment is subsequently performed at temperatures between 400 and 700° C. in an atmosphere containing a nitrogen-containing gas such as N2 or NH3 or an inert gas such as Ar or He.
