The present invention miniaturizes a HEMT element used as a switching element in a radio frequency module. A single gate electrode 17 is formed in an active region defined by an element separation portion 9 on a main surface of a substrate 1 comprising GaAs. The gate electrode 17 is patterned so as to extend in the vertical direction of the page surface between source electrodes 13 and drain electrodes 14, and to extend in left and right directions at other portions. Thus, the ratio of the gate electrode 17 disposed outside the active region is reduced, and the area of a gate pad 17A is reduced.

A compound semiconductor integrated circuit having a high resistance layer consisting of a compound semiconductor to which oxygen is added as an impurity and an undoped compound semiconductor layer which are formed between a semi-insulating substrate and field effect transistors formed thereon sequentially from the semi-insulating substrate side is suited to a superspeed operation because the low frequency oscillation is suppressed.
摘要:
By forming an isolated semiconductor layer or electrode layer on a semiconductor surface between neighboring field effect transistors and element separating trenches which are deep enough to reach at least the semi-insulating substrate or the hetero junction interface on the buffer layer, low frequency oscillation of a compound semiconductor integrated circuit can be reduced. By controlling the thickness of the buffer layer having a hetero junction to at most 150 nm, the low frequency oscillation can be reduced. By forming materials separating adjacent elements with a width of at most 2 .mu.m which reach from the element region surface to the buffer layer having hetero junction so as to enclose the element regions and etched regions in the neighborhood of the elements or so as to enclose the element regions in the etched regions and by controlling the angle of the sides of the etched regions against the semiconductor layer surface to 10.degree. to 60.degree., wires can be prevented from short-circuiting.
