Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Electrochemical etching process is demonstrated in this paper to fabricate recessed-gate AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors without inducing damage. Photoelectrochemical measurements of AlGaN/GaN hetero-structures revealed that two kinds of carriers generated in either AlGaN layer or GaN layer could be supplied to solid/liquid interface separately by selecting proper light wavelength and voltage. Photo-carriers generated in GaN layer caused inhomogeneous etching, whereas those generated in AlGaN layer caused homogeneous etching. Moreover in electrochemical etching utilizing photo-carriers generated in AlGaN layer, self-terminating phenomenon was observed, and self-terminating depth could be controlled by light intensity. We believe that electrochemical etching process which has these excellent features is promising as recess etching technique.
