Novel Passivation Ledge Monitor in an InGaP HBT Process
- Author:
Cristian Cismaru and Peter J. Zampardi
The HBT ledge thickness and quality is vital for device performance and reliability. In this work we report on a measurement technique and test structure for monitoring the emitter passivation ledge based on the use of TaN as a barrier between the InGaP ledge surface and the top metal contact. The technique is suitable for the manufacturing environment.
