Abstract

The use of an AlGaAs/n-GaAs superlattice in place of the n-AlGaAs layer in MODFET devices reduces the light and temperature sensitivity of the threshold voltage. This paper considers the stability of Si doped superlattices under annealing conditions required for activation of the implant in the self-aligned gate MODFET fabrication process. Rapid optical annealing does not significantly degrade the superlattice structure. The DX center concentration in the superlattice structures is a factor of 30 less than measured in conventional MODFET structures. High performance MOOFET devices have been fabricated using the self-aligned gate process with rapid optical annealing.
