- Abstract
- After metallization, a 20 nm T gate with a straight foot is not mechanically stable because the support given by the foot is too weak. We have proposed a zigzag gate foot to enhance mechanical support and developed a process using two-step electron beam lithography and zigzag foot shape to fabricate 20 nm T gates for high performance Al0.25Ga0.75As/In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs modulation-doped field-effect transistors. Two-step lithography reduces electron forward scattering by defining the foot on a thin (40 nm) bottom layer of polymethyl methacrylate at the second step, the T-gate head having been developed at the first step. Adopting a low temperature development technique for the second step reduces the detrimental effect of head exposure on foot definition. With this process, stand-alone 20 nm zigzag T gates have been successfully fabricated on an Al0.25Ga0.75As/In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs epitaxial wafer using a 20 keV electron beam. With a higher-voltage electron beam, this process can be used to fabricate sub-20-nm T gates. (c) 2006 American Vacuum Society.
