  • Patent number: 8415186
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of super flat chemical mechanical polishing (SF-CMP) technology, which is a method characterized in replacing laser lift-off in a semiconductor fabricating process. SF-CMP has a main step of planting a plurality of polishing stop points before polishing the surface, which is characterized by hardness of the polishing stop points material being larger than hardness of the surface material. Therefore, the present method can achieve super flat polishing surface without removing polishing stop points.

  • Patent number: 8187900
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of fabricating vertical LED structures in which the substrate used for epitaxial layer growth is removed through polishing. The polishing technique used in an exemplary embodiment is chemical mechanical polishing using polish stops to provide a sufficiently level plane. Polish stops are provided in the multilayer structure before polishing the surface, the hardness of the polish stop material being greater than the hardness of the material that needs to be removed. Consequently, vertical LEDs can be produced at a lower cost and higher yield compared to either laser lift-off or conventional polishing. Exemplary vertical LEDs are GaN LEDs. The polish stops may be removed by saw dicing, laser dicing or plasma etching.

    Abstract: A method for and devices utilizing monolithic integration of enhancement-mode and depletion-mode AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field-effect transistors (HFETs) is disclosed. Source and drain ohmic contacts of HFETs are first defined. Gate electrodes of the depletion-mode HFETs are then defined. Gate electrodes of the enhancement-mode HFETs are then defined using fluoride-based plasma treatment and high temperature post-gate annealing of the sample. Device isolation is achieved by either mesa etching or fluoride-based plasma treatment. This method provides a complete planar process for GaN-based integrated circuits favored in high-density and high-speed applications.

  • Patent number: 7932539
    Abstract: A method of fabricating AlGaN/GaN enhancement-mode heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFET) using fluorine-based plasma immersion or ion implantation. The method includes: 1) generating gate patterns; 2) exposing the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure in the gate region to fluorine-based plasma treatment with photoresist as the treatment mask in a self-aligned manner; 3) depositing the gate metal to the plasma treated AlGaN/GaN heterostructure surface; 4) lifting off the metal except the gate electrode; and 5) high temperature post-gate annealing of the sample. This method can be used to shift the threshold voltage of a HFET toward a more positive value, and ultimately convert a depletion-mode HFET to an enhancement-mode HFET (E-HFET).
