Abstract

See full text

A method of forming one or more contact regions in a high-voltage field effect transistor (HFET) includes providing a semiconductor material, including a first active layer and a second active layer, with a gate dielectric disposed on a surface of the semiconductor material. A first contact to the semiconductor material is formed that extends through the second active layer into the first active layer, and a passivation layer is deposited, where the gate dielectric is disposed between the passivation layer and the second active layer. An interconnect is formed extending through the first passivation layer and coupled to the first contact. An interlayer dielectric is deposited proximate to the interconnect, and a plug is formed extending into the interlayer dielectric and coupled to the first portion of the interconnect.
