Abstract

A method of fabricating a gate with a mini field plate includes forming a dielectric passivation layer over an epitaxy layer on a substrate, coating the dielectric passivation layer with a first resist layer, etching the first resist layer and the dielectric passivation layer to form a first opening in the dielectric passivation layer, removing the first resist layer, and forming a tri-layer gate having a gate foot in the first opening, a gate neck extending from the gate foot, and a gate head extending from the gate neck. The gate foot has a first width, and the gate neck has a second width that is wider than the first width. The gate neck extends for a length over the dielectric passivation layer on both sides of the first opening. The gate head has a third width wider than the second width of the gate neck.
