  • Abstract
    A new two-step recess (TSR) technology was successfully demonstrated using SiNx passivation and Pt-buried gate process. Applying the developed two-step recess (TSR) process to the fabrication of 0.15 μm Al0.6InAs/In0.65GaAs HEMTs, remarkable improvements could be obtained such as the suppression of the kink effect, and the increase of Gm,max, fT and fmax. Since the side-recessed region was fully passivated by SiNx dielectric layer, this TSR technology is also to offer additional advantage of good reliability.
