Method for manufacturing compound semiconductor field-effect transistors with improved DC and high frequency performance

Patent Zolper, John C [Vienna, VA]; Sherwin, Marc E [Rockville, MD]; Baca, Albert G [Albuquerque, NM]

A method for making compound semiconductor devices including the use of a p-type dopant is disclosed wherein the dopant is co-implanted with an n-type donor species at the time the n-channel is formed and a single anneal at moderate temperature is then performed. Also disclosed are devices manufactured using the method. In the preferred embodiment n-MESFETs and other similar field effect transistor devices are manufactured using C ions co-implanted with Si atoms in GaAs to form an n-channel. C exhibits a unique characteristic in the context of the invention in that it exhibits a low activation efficiency (typically, 50% ormore » « less
