    摘要: The present invention provides a GaN based DHFET that helps confine the 2DEG to the channel layer, and reduces the 2DHG. The present invention provides a GaN DHFET having a channel layer comprising GaN and a buffer layer comprising AlxGa1−xN. The Al content in the buffer layer is specifically chosen based on the thickness of the channel layer using a graph. By choosing the Al content in the buffer layer and thickness of the channel layer in accordance with the graph provided in the present invention, the ability of the buffer layer to help confine the 2DEG to the channel layer is improved.

    摘要: A process and related product in which ohmic contacts are formed in High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) employing compound substrates such as gallium nitride. An improved device and an improvement to a process for fabrication of ohmic contacts to GaN/AlGaN HEMTs using a novel two step resist process to fabricate the ohmic contacts are described. This novel two-step process consists of depositing a plurality of layers having compounds of Group III V elements on a substrate; patterning and depositing a first photoresist on one of the layers; etching recessed areas into this layer; depositing ohmic metals on the recessed areas; removing the first photoresist; patterning and depositing a second photoresist, smaller in profile than the first photoresist, on the layer; depositing more ohmic metal on the layer allowing for complete coverage of the recessed areas; removing the second photoresist, and annealing the semiconductor structure.

    摘要: A method for fabricating heterojunction field effect transistors (HFET) and a family of HFET layer structures are presented. In the method, a step of depositing a HFET semiconductor structure onto a substrate is performed. Next, a photoresist material is deposited. Portions of the photoresist material are removed corresponding to source and drain pad pairs. A metal layer is deposited onto the structure, forming source pad and drain pad pairs. The photoresist material is removed, exposing the structure in areas other than the source and drain pad pairs. Each source and drain pad pair has a corresponding exposed area. The structure is annealed and devices are electrically isolated. The exposed area of each device is etched to form a gate recess and a gate structure is formed in the recess. Semiconductor layer structures for GaN/AlGaN HFETs are also presented.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device which protects the ohmic metal contacts and the channel of the device during subsequent high temperature processing steps is explained. An encapsulation layer is used to cover the channel and ohmic metal contacts. The present invention provides a substrate on which a plurality of semiconductor layers are deposited. The semiconductor layers act as the channel of the device. The semiconductor layers are covered with an encapsulation layer. A portion of the encapsulation layer and the plurality of semiconductor layers are removed, wherein ohmic metal contacts are deposited. The ohmic metal contacts are then annealed to help reduce their resistance. The encapsulation layer ensures that the ohmic metal contacts do not migrate during the annealing step and that the channel is not harmed by the high temperatures needed during the annealing step.
