Patent number: 11710773Abstract: A semiconductor device and a process of forming the semiconductor device are disclosed. The semiconductor device type of a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has double SiN films on a semiconductor layer, where the first SiN film is formed by the lower pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) technique, while, the second SiN film is deposited by the plasma assisted CVD (p-CVD) technique. Moreover, the gate electrode has an arrangement of double metals, one of which contains nickel (Ni) as a Schottky metal, while the other is free from Ni and covers the former metal. A feature of the invention is that the first metal is in contact with the semiconductor layer but apart from the second SiN film.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Kenta Sugawara, Yukinori Nose
