摘要:
The interface resistance between the source/drain and gate of an HFET may be significantly reduced by engineering the bandgap of the 2DEG outside a gate region such that the charge density is substantially increased. The resistance may be further reduced by using an n+GaN Cap layer over the channel layer and barrier layer such that a horizontal surface of the barrier layer beyond the gate region is covered by the n+GaN Cap layer. This technique is applicable to depletion and enhancement mode HFETs.
摘要:
The present invention relates to fabrication of enhancement mode and depletion mode High Electron Mobility Field Effect Transistors on the same die separated by as little as 10 nm. The fabrication method uses selective decomposition and selective regrowth of the Barrier layer and the Cap layer to engineer the bandgap of a region on a die to form an enhancement mode region. In these regions zero or more devices may be fabricated.

A method of fabricating a GaN HEMT includes growing a first epitaxial layer on a substrate, growing a second epitaxial layer on the first epitaxial layer, growing a third epitaxial layer on the second epitaxial layer, depositing a first dielectric film on the third epitaxial layer, using dielectric films to form a first sidewall dielectric spacer, forming a sidewall gate adjacent the first sidewall dielectric spacer. The sidewall gate may be made to be less than 50 nm in length.

A method for fabricating a gate structure for a field effect transistor having a buffer layer on a substrate, a channel layer and a barrier layer over the channel layer includes forming a gate including silicon, forming first sidewalls of a first material on either side and adjacent to the gate, selectively etching into the buffer layer to form a mesa for the field effect transistor, depositing a material layer over the mesa, planarizing the material layer over the mesa to form a planarized surface such that a top of the gate, tops of the first sidewalls, and a top of the material layer over the mesa are on the same planarized surface, depositing metal on the planzarized surface, annealing to form the gate into a metal silicided gate, and etching to remove excess non-silicided metal.

A method of fabricating a normally “off” GaN heterostructure field effect transistor having a source and a drain including depositing a passivation layer patterned to cover a channel region between a source and a drain, forming a first opening in the passivation layer, the first opening for defining a gate area in the channel region and the first opening having a first length dimension along a direction of current flow between the source and the drain, and implanting ions in an implant area within the gate area, wherein the implant area has a second length dimension along the direction of current flow shorter than the first length dimension.
摘要:
A method of integrating benzocyclobutene (BCB) layers with a substrate is provided along with a corresponding device. A method includes forming a first BCB layer on the substrate and depositing a first metal layer on the first BCB layer and within vias defined by the first metal layer. The method also forms a second BCB layer on the first metal layer and deposits a second metal layer on the second BCB layer and within vias defined by the second metal layer. The second metal layer extends through the vias defined by the second metal layer to establish an operable connection with the first metal layer. The first and second metal layers are independent of an electrical connection to any circuit element carried by the substrate, but the first and second metal layers secure the second BCB layer to the underlying structure and reduce the likelihood of delamination.
