  • Publication number: 20240055361
    Abstract: A method for forming alignment keys of a semiconductor structure includes: forming an oxide pad layer and a passivation layer on a substrate; forming a patterned photoresist layer on the passivation layer, and using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask to remove part of the oxide pad layer and passivation layer and expose the substrate surface in the medium voltage and alignment mark regions; forming oxide portions on the exposed substrate surface, and the oxide portions extending into the first depth of the substrate; forming deep doped wells in the low voltage and medium voltage regions; thinning the oxide portions; forming high-voltage doped wells in the high voltage and alignment mark regions; performing an etching process on the high voltage and alignment mark regions to form a second trench, as an alignment key, having a second depth greater than the first depth in the alignment mark region.

  • Publication number: 20240006525
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a high electron mobility transistor device includes providing a substrate. A channel material, a barrier material, a polarization adjustment material and a conductive material are formed on the substrate. A hard mask layer is formed on the conductive material. The conductive material is patterned to form a conductive layer by using the hard mask layer as a mask. A plurality of protection layers is formed on sidewalls of the hard mask layer and the conductive layer. The polarization adjustment material is patterned to form a polarization adjustment layer by using the plurality of protection layers and the hard mask as masks. The plurality of protection layers is removed. A portion of the conductive layer is laterally removed to form a first gate conductive layer.
