Abstract
A method for fabricating a gallium arsenide MOSFET device is presented. A dummy gate is formed over a gallium arsenide substrate. Source-drain extensions are implanted into the substrate adjacent the dummy gate. Dummy spacers are formed along dummy gate sidewalls and over a portion of the source-drain extensions. Source-drain regions are implanted. Insulating spacers are formed on dummy oxide spacer sidewalls. A conductive layer is formed over the source-drain regions. The conductive layer is annealed to form contacts to the source-drain regions. The dummy gate and the dummy oxide spacers are removed to form a gate opening. A passivation layer is in-situ deposited in the gate opening. The surface of the passivation layer is oxidized to create an oxide layer. A dielectric layer is ex-situ deposited over the oxide layer. A gate metal is deposited over the dielectric layer to form a gate stack in the gate opening.
