A WSi/TiN/Au Gate Self-Aligned GaAs MESFET with Selectively Grown n+-Layer using MOCVD

Abstract
A WSi/TiN/Au gate self-aligned GaAs MESFET was formed using MOCVD. The WSi/TiN/Au gate acts as a selective growth mask for the n+-layer. This new process is demonstrated to be effective for reducing the gate resistance and source resistance of FETs simultaneously. The gate resistance, R g, was 3.4 Ω (L g=1.3 um, W g=30 um) and was reduced one tenth compared to that of the WSi gate. A high-speed MSI and high performance microwave device can be obtained by using the WSi/TiN/Au gate self-aligned GaAs MESFETs.
