  • Patent number: 11955441
    Abstract: An interconnect structure comprises a first dielectric layer, a first metal layer, a second dielectric layer, a metal via, and a second metal layer. The first dielectric layer is over a substrate. The first metal layer is over the first dielectric layer. The first metal layer comprises a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion. The second dielectric layer is over the first metal layer. The metal via has an upper portion in the second dielectric layer, a middle portion between the first and second portions of the first metal layer, and a lower portion in the first dielectric layer. The second metal layer is over the metal via. From a top view the second metal layer comprises a metal line having longitudinal sides respectively set back from opposite sides of the first portion of the first metal layer.

  • Publication number: 20230335630
    Abstract: A high-electron mobility transistor includes a substrate, a gate electrode, a drain electrode, a source electrode and a first field plate. The substrate includes an active region. The gate electrode is disposed on the substrate. The drain electrode is disposed at one side of the gate electrode. The source electrode is disposed at another side of the gate electrode. The first field plate is electrically connected with the source electrode and extends from the source electrode toward the drain electrode. An overlapping area of the first field plate and the gate electrode is smaller than an overlapping area of the gate electrode and the active region.
