    摘要: A production process for protecting the surface of compound semiconductor wafers includes providing a multi-wafer epitaxial production system with a transfer and load module, a III-V growth chamber and an insulator chamber. The wafer is placed in the transfer and load module and the pressure is reduced to .ltoreq.10.sup.-10 Torr, after which the wafer is moved to the III-V growth chamber and layers of compound semiconductor material are epitaxially grown on the surface of the wafer. The wafer is then moved through the transfer and load module to the insulator chamber and an insulating cap layer is formed by thermally evaporating gallium oxide molecules from an effusion cell using an evaporation source in an oxide crucible, which oxide crucible does not form an eutectic alloy with the evaporation source

    摘要: A method of fabricating a gate quality oxide-compound semiconductor structure includes forming an insulating Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer on the surface of a compound semiconductor wafer structure by a supersonic gas jet containing gallium oxide molecules and oxygen. In a preferred embodiment, a III-V compound semiconductor wafer structure with an atomically ordered and chemically clean semiconductor surface is transferred from a semiconductor growth chamber into an insulator deposition chamber via an ultra high vacuum preparation chamber. Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 deposition onto the surface of the wafer structure is initiated by a supersonic gas jet pulse and proceeds via optimization of pulse duration, speed of gas jet, mole fraction of gallium oxide molecules and oxygen atoms, and plasma energy.

    摘要: An improved insulated gate field effect device is obtained by providing a substrate desirably comprising a III-V semiconductor, having a further semiconductor layer on the substrate adapted to contain the channel of the device between spaced apart source-drain electrodes formed on the semiconductor layer. A dielectric layer is formed on the semiconductor layer. A sealing layer is formed on the dielectric layer and exposed to an oxygen plasma. A gate electrode is formed on the dielectric layer between the source-drain electrodes.

    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication process includes forming a gate dielectric layer (120) overlying a substrate (101) that includes a III-V semiconductor compound. The gate dielectric layer is patterned to produce a gate dielectric structure (121) that has a substantially vertical sidewall (127), e.g., a slope of approximately 45° to 90°. A metal contact structure (130) is formed overlying the wafer substrate. The contact structure is laterally displaced from the gate dielectric structure sufficiently to define a gap (133) between the two. The wafer (100) is heat treated, which causes migration of at least one of the metal elements to form an alloy region (137) in the underlying wafer substrate. The alloy region underlies the contact structure and extends across all or a portion of the wafer substrate underlying the gap. An insulative or dielectric capping layer (140,150) is then formed overlying the wafer and covering the portion of the substrate exposed by the gap.

    摘要: An insulator-compound semiconductor interface structure is disclosed including compound semiconductor material with a spacer layer of semiconductor material having a bandgap which is wider than the bandgap of the compound semiconductor material positioned on a surface of the compound semiconductor material and an insulating layer positioned on the spacer layer. Minimum and maximum thicknesses of the spacer layer are determined by the penetration of the carrier wave function into the spacer layer and by the desired device performance. In a specific embodiment, the interface structure is formed in a multi-wafer epitaxial production system including a transfer and load module with a III-V growth chamber attached and an insulator chamber attached.
