On a two-layer Si3N4/SiO2 dielectric mask for low-resistance ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

详细

The fabrication of a two-layer Si₃N₄/SiO₂ dielectric mask and features of its application in the technology of non-fired epitaxially grown ohmic contacts for high-power HEMTs on AlGaN/GaN heterostructures are described. The proposed Si₃N₄/SiO₂ mask allows the selective epitaxial growth of heavily doped ohmic contacts by nitride molecular-beam epitaxy and the fabrication of non-fired ohmic contacts with a resistance of 0.15–0.2 Ω mm and a smooth surface and edge morphology.
