Abstract
A process of forming a nitride semiconductor device is disclosed. The process first deposits a silicon nitride (SiN) film on a semiconductor layer by the lower pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) technique at a temperature, then, forming an opening in the SiN film for an ohmic electrode. Preparing a photoresist on the SiN film, where the photoresist provides an opening that fully covers the opening in the SiN film, the process exposes a peripheral area around the opening of the SiN film to chlorine (Cl) plasma that may etch the semiconductor layer to form a recess therein. Metals for the ohmic electrode are filled within the recess in the semiconductor layer and the peripheral area of the SiN film. Finally, the metals are alloyed at a temperature lower than the deposition temperature of the SiN film.
