Two stage plasma etching method for enhancement mode GaN HFET

ActiveUS8124505B1Good control and uniformity of etchLess lattice damageSemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingSemiconductor devicesPhysicsSelf limiting
A two stage plasma etching technique is described that allows the fabrication of an enhancement mode GaN HFET / HEMT. A gate recess area is formed in the Aluminum Gallium Nitride barrier layer of an GaN HFET / HEMT. The gate recess is formed by a two stage etching process. The first stage of the technique uses oxygen to oxidize the surface of the Aluminum Gallium Nitride barrier layer below the gate. Then the second stage uses Boron tricloride to remove the oxidized layer. The result is a self limiting etch process that uniformly thins the Aluminum Gallium Nitride layer below the HFET's gate region such that the two dimensional electron gas is not formed below the gate, thus creating an enhancement mode HFET.

Integrated electrostatic inductive coupling for plasma processing

An integrated electrostatic inductively-coupled (i-ESIC) device is provided for plasma processing that may be used as a primary or secondary source for generating a plasma to prepare substrates for, and to process substrates by applying, dielectric and conductive coatings. The i-ESIC device is practical for processing advanced semiconductor devices and integrated circuits that require uniform and dense plasma. The invention may be embodied in an apparatus that contains a substrate support, typically including an electrostatic chuck, that controls ion energy by capacitively coupling RF power to the plasma and generating voltage bias on the wafer relative to the plasma potential. An integrated inductive coupling element is provided at the perimeter of the substrate support that increases plasma density at the perimeter of the wafer, compensating for the radial loss of charged particles toward chamber walls, to produce uniform plasma density above the processed wafer. An annular slotted shield protects the inductive coupling element from the plasma and provides conditions for effective inductive coupling of RF power into the plasma, such as eliminating capacitive coupling from the element to the plasma and unwanted sputtering of the element. The i-ESIC device has a capacitive coupling zone in its center where wafers are placed and an inductive coupling zone at the perimeter of the wafer coupled to a matching network and RF generator. Both zones together with plasma create a resonant circuit.
