Fabrication of 150‐nm AlGaN/GaN field‐plated High Electron Mobility Transistors using i‐line stepper

Abstract This article reports a high throughput 150‐nm‐gate AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) process using i‐line stepper lithography and a thermal reflow technique. Optimizing thermal reflow conditions, fabrication of a 150‐nm gate structure was successfully realized with the init...
