摘要:
A low-cost field-effect transistor with a moisture-resistant gate covered by a thick moisture-resistant insulating film which suppresses an increase in gate capacitance, and a method of manufacturing the field-effect transistor. The field-effect transistor has one of a T-shaped gate electrode and Γ-shaped gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode, the source electrode and the drain electrode being electrically connected through an n-doped semiconductor region. The gate, source, and drain electrodes are located on a semiconductor layer which includes an insulating film having a thickness of 50 nm or less and covering a surface of the gate electrode and a surface of the semiconductor layer. A silicon nitride film, deposited by catalytic CVD, covers the insulating film and includes a void volume located between a portion of the gate electrode corresponding to a canopy of an open umbrella and the semiconductor layer.

A semiconductor circuit substrate includes a transistor-forming substrate and a circuit-forming substrate. The transistor-forming substrate is a GaN substrate and has a Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) located in its top surface. The bottom surface of the transistor-forming substrate is flat and has contact regions. The circuit-forming substrate is a material other than a compound semiconductor and has no semiconductor active elements. The circuit-forming substrate has a flat top surface, contact regions buried in and exposed at the top surface, and passive circuits. The transistor-forming substrate and the circuit-forming substrate are directly bonded together without any intervening film, such as an insulating film.

A field-effect transistor with improved moisture resistance without an increase in gate capacitance, and a method of manufacturing the field-effect transistor are provided. The field-effect transistor includes: a T-shaped gate electrode on a semiconductor layer; and a first highly moisture-resistant protective film including one of an insulating film and an organic film having high etching resistance, the first highly moisture-resistant protective film being located above the T-shaped gate electrode, over all of a region in which the T-shaped gate electrode is located. A cavity is located between the semiconductor layer and the first highly moisture-resistant protective film, below a canopy of the T-shaped gate electrode. An end surface of the cavity is closed by a second highly moisture-resistant film.
摘要:
A gate electrode serving as a Schottky electrode includes a TaNx layer and an Au layer. The TaNx layer serves as a barrier metal for preventing atoms from diffusing from the Au layer into a substrate. TaNx does not contain Si, and therefore has a higher humidity resistance than WSiN containing Si. Accordingly, the gate electrode has a higher humidity resistance than a conventional gate electrode including a WSiN layer. Setting a nitrogen content at less than 0.8 can prevent significant degradation in Schottky characteristics as compared to the conventional gate electrode. Setting the nitrogen content at 0.5 or less, Schottky characteristics can be improved more than in the conventional gate electrode.
