PROCEDIMENTO PER LA CONNESSIONE A TERRA DI DISPOSITIVI PLANARI E CIRCUITI INTEGRATI E PRODOTTI COSI' OTTENUTI.

摘要

Grounding of source contacts (S) of flat devices and integrated circuits (of the FET type) is carried out according to the following process steps: a GaAs wafer is applied on a support and is covered on its free or rear face with photoresist; the latter is then etched along the border lines of the single FETs; the GaAs layer between contiguous FETs is removed also to make accessible the contacts S; a layer of noble metal is then deposited on the FET rear faces, so that it bridges the contacts S; the single metallized devices are disconnected from the initial support and finally are soldered to a package base.
