A field-effect transistor (FET) in which an InGaAs layer formed on a GaAs substrate is formed in such a manner that the In composition ratio on the gate electrode side on the substrate surface is made small and the In composition ratio on the GaAs substrate side is made large. Thereby, the FET does not cause a decline in the mutual conductance in the FET and a decline in the noise figure (NF) even if negative voltage is applied to a gate electrode.

摘要:
The fine pattern processing method comprises an exposure step for forming a resist pattern having a predetermined opening on a substrate, a vapor deposition step for forming a vapor deposited film on a portion of the substrate which is exposed at the opening by performing an inclined vapor deposition over the resist pattern, and an etching step for performing the etching treatment with use of the vapor deposited film as a mask. In the exposure step, the exposure time of the photoresist is continuously varied within the wafer plane in relation to the continuous changes in the vapor deposition angles within the wafer plane during the inclined vapor deposition, so that the taper angle of the resist pattern is changed. In other words, the exposure time is shortened at the region where the vapor deposition angle is small so as to increase the taper angle of the resist pattern, whereas the exposure time is prolonged at the region where the vapor deposition angle is large in order that the taper angle is decreased.

摘要:
A first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer for source and drain regions, and a bottom SiN layer are successively formed. After the bottom SiN layer is selectively etched to make an opening, a SiON layer and a top SiN layer are formed thereon. A resist pattern having an opening that is closer to the source region than to the drain region is formed on the top SiN layer. The top SiN layer and SiON layer are etched with the resist pattern used as a mask, to expose the second semiconductor layer. The SiON layer is side-etched with hydrofluoric acid until exposing the gate-side portion of the source-side bottom SiN layer. Then, the second semiconductor layer is etched to expose the first semiconductor layer and to form the source and drain regions, where the gate-side edge of the source region is determined by that of the source-side bottom SiN layer and the gate-side edge of the drain region is determined by that of the drain-side SiON layer. Finally, a gate metal is vapor-deposited vertically on the first semiconductor layer with the opening of the top SiN layer used as a mask.
