statement:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes a III-V compound stratum and to a semiconductor device manufactured by such a method This method may be used for manufacturing devices, for example field effect transistors, microwave diodes or laser diodes, in which charge carriers flow in a thin (of the order of 1 micron thick) layer of a high conductivity.
This method may also be used to obtain improved ohmic contacts formed on grown III-V compound strata.
United Kingdom Patent Specification
1,270,550 describes a method of forming an epitaxial film of a III-V compound on a substrate surface at a subatmospheric pressure, the substrate surface being preheated to a temperature in the range from 450 to 650 ‘C, and a collimated molecular beam or beams comprising the constituent components of the film is or are directed at the preheated substrate surface for a sufficient period to form an epitaxial film of a desired thickness Such an epitaxial film may form part of a field effect transistor.
A field effect transistor comprises, for example a semi-insulating Ga As substrate bearing an epitaxially deposited doped Ga As film, together with source gate and drain electrodes extending from the film.
It was found when using a Schottky diode gate that the current falls off linearly as the voltage applied between the gate and source electrodes was increased When such a device was operated at 10 G Hz, it was found that the gain associated with the minimum noise of the device was significantly less than the maximum available gain of the device.
One advantage of the invention is that it 50 makes it possible to manufacture a field effect transistor in which the gain associated with the minimum noise is not significantly less than the maximum available gain Another advantage of the invention is that it Ss makes it possible to make semiconductor devices in which the ohmic contacts have lower contact resistances than in similar known devices.
The invention provides a method of 60 manufacturing a semiconductor device including a III-V compound stratum, the method comprising the step of depositing a layer consisting of one of the elements Sn, Ge, Si, Be, Mn or Mg by a molecular 65 beam process on an exposed surface of the III-V compound stratum.
According to one aspect of the invention, the method includes the steps of depositing a coating of from 10 ‘s to 101 ‘ atoms/sq cm 70 of one of the elements Sn, Ge, Si, Be, Mn or Mg by a molecular beam process on an exposed surface of a semi-insulating III-V compound substrate, and depositing a 0 05 to 1 5 um thick film of a doped III-V com 75 pound on the coating by a molecular beam process, wherein the dopant in the doped III-V compound is the element constituting the coating, and the doped III-V compound contains from 1 x 1016 to 3 X 10 ‘7 atoms/ 80 cm 3 of dopant The semiconductor device manufactured by this method, may be, for example a field effect transistor or a laser diode.
According to another aspect of the in 85 vention, the method includes the steps of depositing a contacting film of from 1014 to 1011 atoms/sq cm of one of the elements Sn, Ge, Si, Be, Mn or Mg by a molecular beam process on an exposed surface of an 90 V) tn 1574525 epitaxially grown 111-V compound stratum, and depositing a contact layer consisting of Sn, Be, Mg, Mn or an alloy of Pt, Ag or Au with any of the elements Sn, Ge, Si, Be, Mg or Mn on to the contacting film.
The contact layer together with the subjacent contacting film constitute an ohmic contact to the 111-V compound stratum.
During the investigations which led to the invention, it was found that the limitation on the performance of a gallium arsenide F E T occurs when all the current is passing through a very thin part of the layer adjoining the substrate, which part of the layer is the first grown part, since the electrical resistance in this first grown part of the layer is significantly higher than the resistance in the remainder of the layer.
The increase in resistance may be due to a reduction in carrier density or to a reduction in carrier mobility in the layer of doped gallium arsenide.
Experiments were conducted to determine the carrier loss from 0 3 1 m thick gallium arsenide layers doped with 1 x 1017 tin atoms/cm 2 and deposited by molecular beam epitaxy on semi-insulating gallium arsenide substrates There was found to be a loss from the layers of from 2 to 4 X 1012 donors/cm 2 A film consisting of 3 X 1012 atoms of tin 1 cm 2 was deposited on a semi-insulating gallium arsenide substrate, and a 0 31 xm thick layer of gallium arsenide doped with 1017 atoms of tin/cm 2 was deposited over the film It was found that the carrier density in the layer was now uniform throughout the thickness of the layer.
It was found that with gallium arsenide F E T ‘s manufactured using a method according to the invention that although there was no improvement in the minimum noise of an F E T compared with an F E T in which there was no deposit of dopant between the semi-insulating gallium arsenide substrate and the grown layer, in fact the noise in the former F E T was up to 10 % more than the noise of the latter F E T, the gain associated with minimum noise for a gallium arsenide F E T made by a method according to the invention was approximately 50 % larger than the gain associated with minimum noise in a similar gallium arsenide F E T which had no dopant deposit interlayer.
It was also found that the method according to the invention could be used for improving the quality of ohmic contacts formed on grown III-V compound strata.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the following Example, and to the accompanying schematic drawing in which:Figure 1 is a side-elevation of molecular beam epitaxy system used to perform the method according to the invention, and Figures 2 to 6 are sectional elevations of a semiconductor assembly at successive stages of formation of the assembly.
EXAMPLE 70
Figure 1 shows a semi-insulating Ga As substrate 1 doped with 1 p p m of chromium and which is mounted on the radiationtype heater 2 in a vacuum chamber 3 The substrate 1 was heated at 580 ‘C for 10 75 minutes in the vacuum chamber at a pressure of 10-6 torr in an atmosphere consisting mainly of water vapour in order to remove carbon present on the surface of the substrate 80 Tin was produced in atomic beam form from a Knudsen effusion cell 4 at 8000 C and was allowed to impinge for 5 minutes upon the substrate 1 which was maintained at a temperature of 5500 C, the pressure in 85 the vacuum chamber being 10-6 Torr A tin coating 5 (Figure 2) which consisted of x 1011 atoms of tin per sq cm was produced on the substrate 1 by this treatment.
The temperature of the substrate was 90 maintained at 5500 C during the deposition of a tin-doped gallium arsenide layer 6 (Figure 3) was deposited over the tin coating 5 An arsenic (As) flux was generated in a Knudsen effusion cell 7 which was 95 heated at 300 C, a tin flux was generated by maintaining the Knudsen cell 4 at 760 C and a gallium flux was generated by means of a Knudsen effusion cell 8 heated at 11200 C The growth rate of the tin-doped gal 100 lium arsenide produced is set by the Ga flux as an excess of As 4 flux is used, the excess As 4 being reflected from the deposition surface, while all the tin and gallium incident on the deposition surface stick A 105 0.3 um thick layer of gallium arsenide having a donor concentration of 5 x 1016/cm 1 was grown in 18 minutes This assembly was used to make field effect transistor chips, a source contact, a drain contact and 110 a gate contact being formed by techniques which are conventional in the art These chips were operated at 10 G Hz and were found to have a maximum available gain of 9 2 d B, a minimum noise of 4 7 d B, and 115 a gain associated with the minimum noise of 9 d B A similar set of field effect transistor chips made from a gallium arsenide assembly which was identical with that used to make the first-mentioned field effect 120 transistor chips except that the assembly contained no tin coating 5, had a maximum available gain of 8 5 d B, a minimum noise of 4 4 d B, and a gain associated with the minimum noise of 6 d B 125 An ohmic contact layer was formed over the gallium arsenide assembly shown in Figure 3 using the apparatus shown in Figure 1 When deposition of the gallium arsenide layer 6 had been completed, the 130 1 574 525 shutters of the Knudsen cells 7 and 8 were closed, the temperature of kthe Knudsen cell 4 was then raised to 11000 C and the temperature of the assembly on the support 2 was reduced to 180 WC which is below the melting and alloying temperature of tin Tin deposition is continued for 10 minutes giving a 200 A thick contacting film 9 (Figure 4) An ohmic contact layer 10 was formed by evaporation over the tin contacting film 9 (Figure 5) Ohmic contacts at the required areas were defined by etching away the contact layer 10 and contacting film 9 at the areas where ohmic contacts were not required.
