Popis: This paper describes an innovative photolithographic method for the fabrication of 1/4 micrometer gates in gallium arsenide Metal-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (GaAs MESFETs). The method utilizes image reversal technology, in which negative polarity images are produced in positive diazide photoresists. This work describes improvements obtained using ammonia as the image reversal catalyst over work previously described which used imidazole [1]. The ammonia based image reversal process is characterized with respect to sensitivity to several process parameters and uniformity of the resultant linewidth. The linewidth uniformity attained using this process is ± 0.03 micrometer over a 50 mm diameter wafer and is currently used to fabricate 1/4 micrometer gate MESFETs on gallium arsenide.
