MONOLITHIC INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (MMIC) STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR FORMING SUCH STRUCTURE

摘要

A method for forming a semiconductor structure having a transistor device with a control electrode for controlling a flow of carriers between a first electrode and a second electrode. A passivation layer is deposited over the first electrode, the second electrode and the control electrode. An etch stop layer is deposited on the passivation layer over the control electrode. A dielectric layer is formed over the etch stop layer. A window is etched through a selected region in the dielectric layer over the control electrode, to expose a portion of the etch stop layer disposed over the control electrode. A metal layer is formed on a portion of the etch stop layer and the dielectric layer is also formed on the metal layer. A second metal layer is deposited on the portion of the dielectric layer formed on the first mentioned metal layer.
