摘要:
MMIC circuits with thin film transistors are provided without the need of grinding and etching of the substrate after the fabrication of active and passive components. Furthermore, technology for active devices based on non-toxic compound semiconductors is provided. The success in the MMIC methods and structures without substrate grinding/etching and the use of semiconductors without toxic elements for active components will reduce manufacturing time, decrease economic cost and environmental burden. MMIC structures are provided where the requirements for die or chip attachment, alignment and wire bonding are eliminated completely or minimized. This will increase the reproducibility and reduce the manufacturing time for the MMIC circuits and modules.

Transistors with a first metal oxynitride channel layer and a second metal oxynitride barrier layer are provided. The first metal oxynitride channel layer is lightly doped or without intentional doping to achieve high carrier mobility. Impurity atoms are introduced into the second metal oxynitride barrier layer and the donated carriers migrate or drift into the first metal oxynitride channel layer to effect high mobility conduction between source and drain.

Metal oxynitride diodes having at least a first metal oxynitride layer of a first conduction type and a second metal oxynitride layer of a second conduction type are provided. The first oxynitride layer is selectively doped or un-intentionally doped and have high carrier mobility. The second oxynitride layer is also selectively doped or un-intentionally doped and have high carrier mobility. A compensated oxynitride drift layer having a low carrier density may be adopted to increase the breakdown voltage of the device.

The present invention is related to high electron mobility transistors for power switching and microwave amplification and switching. More specifically, it related to a high electron mobility transistor with an improved gate to enhance the performance. When fabricating a high electron mobility thin film transistors, a first gate metal layer made of chromium alloy or tungsten alloy is deposited to reduce surface traps and to enhance the stability and integrity of the gates.

摘要:
Due to strong needs to reduce the dimensions and the cost of the RF filters and to reduce the number of filters required in an mobile handsets and wireless system covering numbers of operation bands, tunable RF filters which can cover as many bands or frequency ranges as possible are needed so that the number of filters can be reduced in the mobile handsets and wireless systems. The present invention provides tunable surface acoustic wave (SAW) IDT structures with the resonant frequency of the acoustic wave to be excited and to be transmitted tuned by digital to analog converters (DACs). The DAC converts an input digital signal to an output DC voltage and provide DC bias voltages to the SAW IDTs through integrated thin film biasing resistors. The polarity and the value of the output DC voltage are controlled by the input digital signal to achieve selection and tuning of the resonant frequency of the SAW IDTs.

A thin film transistor with a first metal oxynitride channel layer or a first metal oxide channel layer is provided to have controlled channel doping concentrations in a bottom surface region, a central channel region and a top surface region so that doping concentration ratios between the bottom surface region and the central channel region and between the top surface region and the central channel region are greater than a first threshold doping ratio and less than a second threshold doping ratio in order to retain more uniform charge carrier mobility values in the first channel layer and to improve the performance of the thin film transistor devices.

High mobility transistors and microwave integrated circuits with an improved uniformity of the width of the smallest of features, an increased lithographic yield and reduced defects in the active components are provided. Before and during fabrication, a first grooving process is performed to partially or completely remove composite epitaxial layers in the field lanes to reduce the initial bow to be smaller than DOF range and to improve the uniformity of the critical dimension. A second grooving process may also be performed to remove composite epitaxial layers in the dicing lanes to further improve the uniformity of the width of the smallest features for the devices and circuits to be made.

The present invention provides tunable film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) with the resonant frequency of the acoustic wave to be excited and to be transmitted tuned by digital to analog converters which convert an input digital signal to an output DC voltage and provide DC bias voltages to the FBARs through integrated thin film biasing resistors. The polarity and the value of the output DC voltage are controlled by the input digital signal to achieve selection and tuning of the resonant frequency of the FBARs. A plurality of the tunable FBARs are connected to form microwave filters with tunable bandpass frequencies and oscillators with selectable resonating frequencies by varying the input digital signals applied to the digital to analog converters.
