20150044825 | COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Two layers of protection films are formed such that a sheet resistance at a portion directly below the protection film is higher than that at a portion directly below the protection film. The protection films are formed, for example, of SiN film, as insulating films. The protection film is formed to be higher, for instance, in hydrogen concentration than the protection film so that the protection film is higher in refractive index the protection film. The protection film is formed to cover a gate electrode and extend to the vicinity of the gate electrode on an electron supplying layer. The protection film is formed on the entire surface to cover the protection film. According to this configuration, the gate leakage is significantly reduced by a relatively simple configuration to realize a highly-reliable compound semiconductor device achieving high voltage operation, high withstand voltage, and high output. | 02-12-2015 |
20150072480 | IMPLANT REGION DEFINITION - Among other things, one or more systems and techniques for defining one or more implant regions or for doping a semiconductor arrangement are provided.
