Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention discloses a gate structure, which is applied for an electronic component comprising a substrate and an active region defined thereon, and such the gate structure is disposed in the active region and is a T-shaped gate having a stem with a height of 250 nm. Preferably, the gate structure has a gate length of 60 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A T-shaped gate structure applied for an electronic component, comprising: a substrate, the substrate is selected from the group consisting of a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate and an indium phosphorous (InP) substrate; an active region defined thereon; and a T-shaped gate structure is disposed in the active region, and the T-shaped gate having a stem with a height of 250 nm, the T-shaped gate structure has a gate length of 60 nm, a distance between the stem and a sidewall of a recess is 70 nm. 2. The T-shaped gate structure according to claim 1 , wherein the gate structure is formed by the following steps, comprising; forming and thickening a layer of a first photoresist on the substrate, wherein the step of forming and thickening the layer of the first photoresist is performed by reducing a rotation rate of a spin coating process; forming a layer of a second photoresist and a layer of a third photoresist in order on the layer of the first photoresist; patterning the layer of the first photoresist, the layer of the second photoresist and the layer of the third photoresist to form a recess; depositing a conductive material in the recess; and removing the layer of the first photoresist, the layer of the second photoresist and the layer of the third photoresist, wherein the step of patterning the layer of the first photoresist, the layer of the second photoresist and the layer of the third photoresist to form a recess is performed by an electron-beam lithography method.
