โœฆ Synopsis


This paper presents two separate methods for the fabrication of 10 nm footprint T-gates using a two-step gate process. We examine the limits of lithographic and pattern transfer processes using the exposure of ZEP520A resist by electron beam lithography, suitable development processes and subsequent pattern transfer by SF 6 =N 2 reactive ion etching of a silicon nitride layer on III-V substrates. In a second process, the dimensions of a larger initial feature are reduced using the deposition and etching of conformal silicon nitride. Both processes have yielded metallised gates with a footprint as small as 10 nm and are suitable for incorporation into a HEMT process flow.

Recent advances in electron beam lithography have made possible the fabrication of pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (PHEMTs) with gate length well in the nanometer regime. This gate processes mostly require thin dielectric support layers in order to prevent collapse of gate head due
