2 Why THz Transistors?
3 THz Transistors: Not Just For THz Circuits 500 GHz digital logic fiber optics precision analog design at microwave frequencies high-performance receivers Higher-Resolution Microwave ADCs, DACs, DDSs THz amplifiers THz radios imaging, communications
4 THz Communications Needs High Power, Low Noise Real systems with real-world weather & design margins, m range: Will require: 3-7 db Noise figure, mw power/element, element arrays InP or GaN PAs and LNAs, Silicon beamformer ICs
5 THz InP HBTs
6 THz & nm Transistors: what it's all about Metal-semiconductor interfaces (Ohmic contacts): very low resistivity Dielectric-semiconductor interfaces (Gate dielectrics---fets only): thin! Ultra-low-resistivity (~0.25 W-mm 2 ), ultra shallow (1 nm), ultra-robust (0.2 A/mm 2 ) contacts Mo Ru InGaAs InGaAs Heat T IC P K IC th L L Available quantum states to carry current T transistor ~ P K th ln L L W capacitance, transconductance contact resistance

10 HBT Fabrication Process Must Change... Greatly 32 nm width base & emitter contacts...self-aligned 32 nm width emitter semiconductor junctions Contacts: 1 W-mm 2 resistivities 70 ma/mm 2 current density ~1 nm penetration depths refractory contacts nm III-V FET, Si FET processes have similar requirements
11 Needed: Greatly Improved Ohmic Contacts textbook with surface oxide with metal penetration Interface barrier resistance Further intermixing during high-current operation degradation
12 Needed: Greatly Improved Ohmic Contacts Pt/Ti/Pd/Au ~5 nm Pt contact penetration (into 25 nm base)
13 Contact Resistivity (Wcm 2 ) Ultra Low-Resistivity Refractory In-Situ Contacts 10-6 N-InAs N-InGaAs P-InGaAs Barasakar et al IEEE IPRM 2012 Mo Mo Ir W Mo 32 nm node requirements concentration (cm -3 ) concentration (cm -3 ) concentration (cm -3 ) In-situ: avoids surface contaminants Refractory: robust under high-current operation Low penetration depth, ~ 1 nm Contact performance sufficient for 32 nm /2.8 THz node.
14 Refractory Needed: Greatly Emitter Improved Contacts Ohmic Contacts negligible penetration
15 HBT Fabrication Process Must Change... Greatly tall, narrow contacts: liftoff fails! control undercut thinner emitter thinner emitter thinner base metal thinner base metal excess base metal resistance Undercutting of emitter ends {101}A planes: fast {111}A planes: slow

18 Sub-200-nm Emitter Anatomy slide: E. Lobisser. HBT: V. Jain. Process: Jain & Lobisser emitter-base gap: only ~10 nm greatly reduces link component of R bb.

23 Towards & Beyond the 32 nm /2.8 THz Node Base contact process: Present contacts too resistive (4Wmm 2 ) Present contacts sink too deep (5 nm) for target 15 nm base refractory base contacts Emitter Degeneracy: Target current density is almost 0.1 Amp/mm 2 (!) Injected electron density becomes degenerate. transconductance is reduced. Increased electron mass in emitter
24 Base Ohmic Contact Penetration ~5 nm Pt contact penetration (into 25 nm base)
25 Refractory Base Process (1) base surface not exposed to photoresist chemistry: no contamination low contact resistivity, shallow contacts low penetration depth allows thin base, pulsed-doped base contacts Blanket liftoff; refractory base metal Patterned liftoff; Thick Ti/Au low contact resistivity low penetration depth low bulk access resistivity
26 Refractory Base Process (2) 10-5 P-InGaAs nm node requirement doping, 1/cm nm doping pulse depth, nm Contact Resistivity, Wcm B =0.8 ev 0.6 ev 0.4 ev 0.2 ev step-barrier Landauer Hole Concentration, cm -3 Increased surface doping: reduced contact resistivity, but increased Auger recombination. Surface doping spike at most 2-5 thick. Refractory contacts do not penetrate; compatible with pulse doping.

31 Degenerate Injection Solutions At & beyond 32 nm, we must increase the emitter (transverse) effective mass. Other emitter semiconductors: no obvious good choices (band offsets, etc.). Emitter-base superlattice: increases transverse mass in junction evidence that InAlAs/InGaAs grades are beneficial Extreme solution (10 years from now): partition the emitter into small sub-junctions, ~ 5 nm x 5 nm. parasitic resistivity is reduced progressively as sub-junction areas are reduced.
