Analysis of issues in gate recess etching in the InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT manufacturing process

We have developed an InAlAs/InGaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistor device fabrication process where the gate length can be tuned within the range of 0.13 μm–0.16 μm to suit the intended application. The core processes are a two-step electron-beam lithography process using a three-layer resist and gate recess etching process using citric acid. An electron-beam lithography process was developed to fabricate a T-shaped gate electrode with a fine gate foot and a relatively large gate head. This was realized through the use of three-layered resist and two-step electron beam exposure and development. Citric acid-based gate recess etching is a wet etching, so it is very important to secure etching uniformity and process reproducibility. The device layout was designed by considering the electrochemical reaction involved in recess etching, and a reproducible gate recess etching process was developed by finding optimized etching conditions. Using the developed gate electrode process technology, we were able to successfully manufacture various monolithic microwave integrated circuits, including low noise amplifiers that can be used in the 28 GHz to 94 GHz frequency range.

Electrochemically induced asymmetrical etching in InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructures for MODFET gate-groove fabrication

We have achieved a self-controlled asymmetrical etching in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition-grown InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructures, which can be suitable for fabricating modulation-doped field-effect transistors (MODFETs) with gate-groove profiles for improved performance. The technology is based on electrochemical etching phenomena, which can be effectively controlled by using different surface metals for ohmic electrodes. When surface metals of Pt and Ni are deposited on the source and the drain, respectively, the higher electrode potential of Pt results in slower etching on the source side than on the drain side. Thus, asymmetry of gate grooves can be formed by wet-chemical etching with citric-acid-based etchant. This represents a new possibility to conduct “recess engineering” for InAlAs/InGaAs MODFETs.
