化学気相成長(CVD)法又はヌバツタ法で被着する。(2) Prior art and problems In general, the surface of a semiconductor element is coated with a protective insulating film to prevent moisture from entering from the outside air and from adhering to dirt and dust. To strengthen it, it is heat treated in a neutral air stream. As such a protective insulating film, a silicon compound film such as a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride film is widely used. However, since silicon semiconductor devices are made of the same material, no problems occur; however, gallium arsenide (GaA)
Compound semiconductors such as S) pose serious problems. For example, Figure 1 shows the cross-sectional structure of a GaAS Schottky barrier gate field effect transistor (MESFET), which is known as a microwave band active device with a frequency of IMH2 or higher.
In the figure, 2 is a GaAS substrate, 8 is an n-type EAAs active layer, 2 is a source and drain electrode made of gold germanium (Au-Ge), and 5 is made of aluminum (AJ). After these electrodes are also formed, the silicon oxide film l is
It is deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or the Nubatsuta method.
しかし、この酸化シリコン膜の被覆工程の良否によって
、トランジスタ特性の劣化、特にゲイン低下やノイズ増
加が見られ、それを検討したところその原因はGaAS
動作層と酸化シリコン膜との界面に存在する相互拡散層
にあると考えられる。However, depending on the quality of this silicon oxide film coating process, deterioration of transistor characteristics, especially gain reduction and noise increase, was observed, and when we investigated this, we found that the cause was GaAS.
This is thought to be due to the interdiffusion layer existing at the interface between the active layer and the silicon oxide film.
即ち、酸化シリコン膜はCVD法又はスパッタ法で被着
されるが、GaAs基板は数100℃に加熱して被着す
るから、その界面に相互拡散層が発生する。被着後、熱
処理すれば尚更、この層が画然とすることは言うまでも
ない。That is, the silicon oxide film is deposited by CVD or sputtering, but since the GaAs substrate is deposited by heating to several hundred degrees Celsius, an interdiffusion layer is generated at the interface. Needless to say, this layer becomes even more distinct if it is heat treated after deposition.

が悪影響を与えていると推定される。Figure 2 is an atomic concentration concave table showing the interdiffusion layer, and shows the results of analysis using Auger electron spectroscopy after sputter etching a silicon oxide film with argon ions, and the layer width is approximately In addition, the deposited silicon oxide film was not only silicon dioxide (SiO2), but the analysis results showed that it had a 5iOx (X<2) structure.
This is well known among relatives. Moreover,
5j-Ox is not constant, and the closer to the G 8A S active layer, the more S1 becomes excessive, and it is expected that dangling bonds of Si are formed, and this forms the center of carrier capture, It is presumed that electrons in the GaAs surface layer are trapped and a surface depletion layer is generated in the surface layer, which has an adverse effect.
又、第2図に示すように、相互拡散1内ではGaとA6

予想される。Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, within the mutual diffusion 1, Ga and A6
are not the same amount (, As is in excess, and then As bonds are formed to form metal As, which causes leakage current to flow at the interface between the silicon oxide film and GaA and El.
t)! It is expected that the E S F E T 'J property will be deteriorated.

The n-type GaAS active layer 8 is then etched under the gate electrode to form a recessed structure (which increases the switching speed). A on top of that
A gate electrode 5 made of I is deposited and then a SiOx film l having a thickness l of about 5000 mm is deposited on the surface as a protective film by CVD.

6) shows the Demet 1 table of mutual conductance (gm) versus frequency. 6 Section 3 (a) is the data without the hydrogen treatment process, and Figure 3) is the data with the hydrogen treatment added. As shown in the figure, without hydrogen treatment, gm decreases when the frequency exceeds 2 oopz, but with hydrogen treatment, there is no decrease in gm at high frequencies, and the frequency dispersion of gm is eliminated. The 8th round) has an inflection point near 200H2, but this frequency fluctuates depending on the surface treatment of the GaA and 3 active layers and is not constant. However, in any case, hydrogen treatment increases gm and improves gain characteristics.

This is thought to be due to the fact that the interdiffusion layer has an adverse effect on the interdiffusion layer.
