Abstract:
PURPOSE: A fabrication method of an integrated circuit is provided to efficiently reduce a chip size by using a defined epitaxial layer of an HBT(Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) as a resistor having a large resistance and using another defined epitaxial layer as a stabilizing resistor. CONSTITUTION: After removing an emitter cap layer(9), an emitter layer, and a surface of a base layer, base metal electrodes(11) is formed on both sides of an emitter metal electrode(10). After etching the base layer, a collector layer, and a surface of a second selective etch layer, the second selective etch layer is selectively etched compared to a subcollector layer. The entire subcollector layer is removed except for an active device part included region and a lowly resistive resistor(14) region. Collector metal electrodes(12) are formed on the active device part included region, the lowly resistive resistor(14), and defined regions of a second selective etch layer(3) having a high resistance. Then, the second selective etch layer(3) is selectively removed and a partial etching step is performed for isolation between the active and passive devices.

PURPOSE: A method for fabricating an integrated circuit using a hetero-junction bipolar transistor is provided to reduce a chip size by forming an resistant epitaxial layer in an epitaxial structure. CONSTITUTION: An epitaxial resistance layer(22) is formed on a semi-insulating compound semiconductor substrate(21). A sub-collector layer(23), a collector layer(24), a base layer(25), an emitter cap layer(27) are formed on the epitaxial resistance layer(22). An emitter metal layer(28) is deposited thereon. An emitter(26) connected with the emitter electrode(28) is formed by etching selectively the emitter cap layer(27) and the emitter layer(26). A base electrode(29) is formed on a selected portion of the exposed base layer(25). A base(25) is formed by etching the base layer(25) and the collector layer(24). A collector(24) is formed by etching the sub-collector layer(23). An electrode(30) is formed on a selected portion of the collector(24). A resistance electrode(31) is formed on a selected portion of the exposed epitaxial layer(22). A high resistance body(31) is formed by etching a part of the epitaxial resistance layer(22) and a part of the semi-insulating compound semiconductor substrate(21). A NiCr layer and a NoCr contact metal are deposited thereon. A low resistance body(34) is formed by etching selectively the NoCr contact metal.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An emitter structure heterojunction bipolar transistor and a method for manufacturing on a substrate using the same are provided to prevent an interconnection from becoming thinner or being cut when there is manufactured a diode for short circuiting a base-collector of a heterojunction bipolar transistor, a PN junction diode and a heterojunction bipolar transistor on the same substrate. CONSTITUTION: An emitter electrode(29), a base electrode(30) and a collector electrode(31) of a heterojunction bipolar transistor are consecutively formed by a lift-off process. An upper electrode(32) and a lower electrode(33) of a diode which short the second base layer(24b) and the second collector layer(23b) are formed at the same when the emitter(29) and the base electrode(30) of the heterojunction bipolar transistor are formed. An upper electrode(34) and a lower electrode(35) of a PN junction diode are formed at the same time when the base electrode(30) and the collector electrode(31) of the heterojunction bipolar transistor are formed. Since the upper electrode and the lower electrode of the PN junction diode and the upper electrode and the lower electrode of the diode which short the base-collector of the heterojunction bipolar transistor are formed at the same time when the emitter electrode, the base electrode and the collector electrode of the heterojunction bipolar transistor are formed, the emitter structure heterojunction bipolar transistor, the diode which shorts the base-collector of the heterojunction bipolar transistor and the PN junction diode can be easily manufactured on the same substrate.

PURPOSE: A fabrication method of HBT(heterojunction bipolar transistor) is provided to improve an emitter ohmic contact property and simplify the manufacturing process. CONSTITUTION: An HBT fabrication method comprises the following steps. An HBT epitaxial substrate sequentially formed a semiconductor(1), a buffer layer(2), a sub-collector(3), a collector(4), a base(5), an emitter(6), and emitter cap layers(7,8) is prepared by conventional processes. By using double mask layers(9,10) having different etching selectivity, surface protrusion patterns are formed on the HBT epitaxial substrate. The lower mask layer(9) made of a photoresist layer, and the upper mask layer(10) composed of a silicon nitride. Thereby, the surface protrusion pattern has s reverse T-shaped structure due to differency of etching selectivity. Using the surface protrusion pattern having reverse T-shaped structure, an emitter ohmic electrode is formed.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for fabricating a compound semiconductor device is to improve a coating characteristic by forming a via hole using a wet etching process, an ion implantation process and an ECR(electron cyclotron resonance) plasma dry etch process. CONSTITUTION: A pad electrode pattern(22) is formed on a compound semiconductor substrate(21). The compound semiconductor substrate is wet etched to a predetermined thickness using double etching mask patterns(23,24) which are formed beneath the compound semiconductor substrate. An ion implantation process to an exposed compound semiconductor substrate is carried out. A dry etch process is carried out to expose a portion of the pad electrode pattern. The double etching mask patterns are removed. A coating layer is formed according to a step difference of the compound semiconductor substrate. The pad electrode pattern is implemented with nickel, titanium, platinum and gold. The compound semiconductor substrate is formed to a thickness range of 50 micrometers to 100 micrometers.
