  • Patent number: 7847410
    Abstract: An interconnect of the group III-V semiconductor device and the fabrication method for making the same are described. The interconnect includes a first adhesion layer, a diffusion barrier layer for preventing the copper from diffusing, a second adhesion layer and a copper wire line. Because a stacked-layer structure of the first adhesion layer/diffusion barrier layer/second adhesion layer is located between the copper wire line and the group III-V semiconductor device, the adhesion between the diffusion barrier layer and other materials is improved. Therefore, the yield of the device is increased.

  • Patent number: 7829448
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a structure of a metal oxide semiconductor pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (MOS-PHEMT) suitable for use in a semiconductor device, such as a single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) switch of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC); and a method of producing the same. The MOS-PHEMT structure is characterized in having a gate dielectric layer formed by atomic deposition from a gate dielectric selected from the group consisting of Al2O3, HfO2, La2O3, and ZrO2, and thereby rendering the semiconductor structure comprising the same, such as a high frequency switch device, to have less DC power loss, less insertion loss and better isolation.

  • Publication number: 20100248430
    Abstract: In a high frequency flip chip package process of a polymer substrate and a structure thereof, the structure is a one-layer structure packaged by a high frequency flip chip package process to overcome the shortcomings of a conventional two-layer structure packaged by the high frequency flip chip package process. The conventional structure not only incurs additional insertion loss and return loss in its high frequency characteristic, but also brings out a reliability issue. Thus, the manufacturing process of a ceramic substrate in the conventional structure still has the disadvantages of a poor yield rate and a high cost.

  • Publication number: 20090194846
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a fully Cu-metallized III-V group compound semiconductor device, wherein the fully Cu-metallized of a III-V group compound semiconductor device is realized via using an N-type gallium arsenide ohmic contact metal layer formed of a palladium/germanium/copper composite metal layer, a P-type gallium arsenide ohmic contact metal layer formed of a platinum/titanium/platinum/copper composite metal layer, and interconnect metals formed of a titanium/platinum/copper composite metal layer. Thereby, the fabrication cost of III-V group compound semiconductor devices can be greatly reduced, and the performance of III-V group compound semiconductor devices can be greatly promoted. Besides, the heat-dissipation effect can also be increased, and the electric impedance can also be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20080254632
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure having a deep sub-micron or nano scale line-width is disclosed. Structure consisting of multiple photoresist layers is first formed on the substrate, then patterned using adequate exposure energy and development condition so that the bottom photoresist layer is not developed while the first under-cut resist groove is formed on top of the bottom photoresist layer. Anisotropic etching is then performed at a proper angle to the normal of the substrate surface, and a second resist groove is formed by the anisotropic etching. Finally, the metal evaporation process and the lift-off process are carried out and the ?-shaped metal gate with nano scale line-width can be formed.
