Abstract
A process for manufacturing a buried gate field effect transistor having a small effective gate length, which process enables precise control of the threshold voltage. First, a compound semiconductor crystal having a first impurity region as a source region, a second impurity region as a drain region and a channel layer buried inside the compound semiconductor crystal is prepared by a conventional process. A V-shaped groove is then formed with an etching solution having high selectivity toward the crystal face in the gate region of this compound semiconductor crystal. Onto the inner wall surface of the V-shaped groove, a metal likely to form an alloy type of Schottky junction with the compound semiconductor is vapor-deposited. The resultant structure is heated, while measuring the threshold voltage, to form an alloy type of Schottky junction and for use of this junction as a gate electrode.
