Abstract:
In a method for fabricating a semiconductor device, a first semiconductor layer of aluminum gallium nitride is first formed on a substrate, and a protection film containing silicon is then formed on the first semiconductor layer in such a manner that a device-isolation region is uncovered. Thereafter, the method further includes the step of heat-treating the first semiconductor layer in an oxidizing atmosphere whose temperature is adjusted to be within a range of 950null C. or more and 1050 null C. or less.
Abstract:
A gate quality oxide-compound semiconductor structure (10) is formed by the steps of providing a III-V compound semiconductor wafer structure (13) with an atomically ordered and chemically clean semiconductor surface in an ultra high vacuum (UHV) system (20), directing a molecular beam (26) of gallium oxide onto the surface of the wafer structure to initiate the oxide deposition, and providing a second beam (28) of atomic oxygen to form a Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer (14) with low defect density on the surface of the wafer structure. The second beam of atomic oxygen is supplied upon completion of the first 1-2 monolayers of Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3. The molecular beam of gallium oxide is provided by thermal evaporation from a crystalline Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 or gallate source, and the atomic beam of oxygen is provided by either RF or microwave plasma discharge, thermal dissociation, or a neutral electron stimulated desorption atom source.

Abstract:
An inventive process for producing a semiconductor device has the steps of: putting a compound semiconductor substrate, an element of the substrate elements having a higher vapor pressure in a quartz ampoule, evacuating the ampoule, introducing oxygen gas into the ampoule and then sealing the ampoule; heating the ampoule to produce an oxide layer on the surface of the compound semiconductor substrate; and forming an electrode metal layer on the oxide layer to produce a MOS diode with a low interface trap density or a Schottky diode with a high barrier height and small ideal factor. Thus, the process produces a Schottky diode of a good forward current/voltage characteristic, low reverse current and superior rectification performance and a MESFET of a low dispersion at threshold voltage.
Abstract:
An oxide layer (16') is formed on a GaAs body (14) by epitaxially growing a layer (12) of Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x As layer on a major surface (18) of the body and then thermally oxidizing the Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x As layer for a time period effective to convert it to an oxide. The oxidizing process is essentially self-terminating at the major surface 18. The application of this process to the fabrication of MOS capacitors and IGFETs is described.
