A new combination of low/high/low sensitivity trilayer (PMMA/PMIPK/PMM
A) resist system was used for deep UV lithography to fabricate submicr
on T-shaped gate. Gate length as narrow as 0.2 mum is achieved. The Ga
As HEMT's with 0.3 mum T-shaped Ti/Pt/Au gate is fabricated using this
technology. The HEMT demonstrated a 0.6 dB noise figure and 13 dB ass
ociated gain at 10 GHz. This deep UV lithography process provides a hi
gh throughput and low cost alternative to E-beam lithography for submi
cron T-gate fabrication.
