摘要:
This invention pertains to more sensitive and more stable electronic devices which can sense electrical and magnetic fields. The devices are characterized by InAs channels confined on both sides thereof by a wide band gap AlSb material; protective layers above the AlSb material; modulation doping above the AlSb material; and layers of the InAs channel material containing 1 to 99 mol percent antimony, with the channel material being deposited in the form of alternating monolayers of InSb and InAs, of a ternary mixture of InAsSb.
摘要:
Heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) and other electronic devs are fabricated from a series of semiconductor layers to have reduced impact ionization. On to a first barrier layer there is added a unique second subchannel layer having high quality transport properties for reducing impact ionization. A third barrier layer having a controlled thickness to permit electrons to tunnel through the layer to the subchannel layer is added as a spacer for the fourth main channel layer. A fifth multilayer composite barrier layer is added which has at least a barrier layer in contact with the fourth channel layer and on top a sixth cap layer is applied. The device is completed by adding two ohmic contacts in a spaced apart relationship on the sixth cap layer with a Schottky gate between them which is formed in contact with the fifth barrier layer. The second subchannel layer and the fourth main channel layers are made of materials which have the proper respective energy gaps and ground state energies such that during use the transfer of hot electrons from the main channel into the subchannel is made probable to reduce impact ionization in the main channel. In the preferred AlSb/InAs-based HFETs, the use of an Is InAs subchannel layer under the main InAs channel improves the performance of the HEMTs particularly for gate lengths in the deep-submicron regime. The devices exhibit higher transconductance, lower output conductance, reduced gate leakage current, higher operating drain voltage, and improved frequency performance.

The gate air bridge fabrication is accomplished by a liquid etchant containing more than half, on volume basis, of concentrated lactic acid or acetic acid with remainder hydrogen peroxide and concentrated hydrofluoric acid. The etchant attacks InAs, In.sub.x Al.sub.1-x As.sub.y Sb.sub.1-y, AlSb, and GaSb but does not attack GaAs and Au-based alloys.

摘要:
A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device in which a single InxGa1-xSb quantum well serves as both an n-channel and a p-channel in the same device and a method for making the same. The InxGa1-xSb layer is part of a heterostructure that includes a Te-delta doped AlyGa1-ySb layer above the InxGa1-xSb layer on a portion of the structure. The portion of the structure without the Te-delta doped AlyGa1-ySb barrier layer can be fabricated into a p-FET by the use of appropriate source, gate, and drain terminals, and the portion of the structure retaining the Te-delta doped AlyGa1-ySb layer can be fabricated into an n-FET so that the structure forms a CMOS device, wherein the single InxGa1-xSb quantum well serves as the transport channel for both the n-FET portion and the p-FET portion of the heterostructure.
